We are developing a kernel and X driver for Solaris on SPARC systems, using
Sun Studio 12. We're using the SUNWxwddk and the document OpenWindows
Server Device Developer's Guide.
These seems to be considerably more difficult than what we did for Solaris
and OpenSolaris for the X86. One of the problems that we have is that we
can't figure out how to have both the mouse and touch screen capability (as
core pointers) simultaneously from a desktop (such as CDE).
We can use the command xsetpointer, which is a small app we wrote that uses
XChangePointerDevice() to change the core pointer.
In /usr/openwin/server/etc/OWconfig we have
# X Display
class="XDISPLAY" name="0"
coreKeyboard="IKBD" corePointer="IMOUSE"
dev0="/dev/fb";
# CG6 display adapter
class="XSCREEN" name="SUNWcg6"
ddxHandler="ddxSUNWcg6.so.1" ddxInitFunc="sunCG6Init";
# Sun Keyboard module
class="XINPUT" name="IKBD"
ddxHandler="ddxSUNWkbd.so.1"
ddxInitFunc="ddxSUNWkbdProc";
# Sun Mouse module
class="XINPUT" name="IMOUSE"
ddxHandler="ddxSUNWmouse.so.1"
ddxInitFunc="ddxSUNWmouseProc";
In /etc/openwin/server/etc/OWconfig, we added:
class="XINPUT" name="XYZSER"
ddxHandler="ddxXYZSerial.so.1"
ddxInitFunc="ddxXYZControlProc";
At this time, our /etc/openwin/server/etc/OWconfig has the merged lines from
the /usr version and /etc version of OWconfig, which we think happened when
we issued the fbconfig command to change resolution.
On our X86-based Solaris systems, all of this is a bit easier (but then,
we're a lot more familiar with X11R6/Xfree), as all we need to do is add to
xorg.conf:
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "X.org Configured"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
InputDevice "XYZ" "SendCoreEvents"
EndSection
Any help anyone could offer would be greatly appreciated!
