Distributed Single Logical Screen (SLS/d), To Con the SLS/d Slave X Servers

Page 48 highlights

This behavior is the result of HP VUE's naive assumption that it is running against one large screen; it centers these windows accordingly. If you are using the default HP VUE key bindings, you can easily reposition the Front Panel so that it is completely contained within one physical screen: 1. With the input focus on the Front Panel, press (on older keyboards, use ). 2. With the Front Panel menu posted and the "Move" menu item selected, press (on older keyboards, ) to start the move. 3. Use the mouse or the arrow keys to reposition the Front Panel to the desired location. 4. Press (or ) to complete the move. You may instead press to cancel the move. Afterwards, this setting will be remembered and restored at your next login. If you have previously set a Home session, you will need to re-set the Home session in the Style Manager to register the new Front Panel position Note: There is no mechanism in HP VUE for repositioning the login screen, window move/resize boxes, or the screen lock dialog Distributed Single Logical Screen (SLS/d) SLS/d uses a Master/Slave relationship between X displays to create and manage the logical screen. SLS/d is functionally identical to SLS, except for the way the screens are configured. To configure an SLS/d screen, you must first choose a group of X displays, all running the same version of HP-UX 10.20 (running the January 1999 periodic patch or subsequent HP-UX 10.20 patch). In addition, all of the systems running the displays must be running /usr/bin/X11/SLSd_daemon (this is normally launched automatically when the system is booted; if it is not, you may start it by hand, as root). Then, the master and slaves must be configured correctly. The SLS/d master X server can execute on any appropriate system, including one that is also executing a SLS/d slave X server. The SLS/d master X server does not require a graphics display device. The SLS/d slave displays must all have the same underlying graphics display device. To determine this, run "/bin/graphinfo " (where represents the graphics device file (e.g., /dev/crt0) listed in that slave's /etc/X11/X*screens file) and search for the "graphics product". To Configure the SLS/d Slave X Servers Configuring an SLS/d slave X server is identical to configuring a normal (non-SLS) screen as described above. The catch is that if any Screen or ServerOption(s) are configured for one slave, they must be configured for all of the slave X servers. Page 48 Graphics Administration Guide for HP-UX 10.20

Distributed Single Logical Screen (SLS/d)
SLS/d uses a Master/Slave relationship between X displays to create and manage the logical screen.
SLS/d is functionally identical to SLS, except for the way the screens are configured. To configure an
SLS/d screen, you must first choose a group of X displays, all running the same version of HP-UX 10.20
(running the January 1999 periodic patch or subsequent HP-UX 10.20 patch).
In addition, all of the systems running the displays must be running
/usr/bin/X11/SLSd_daemon
(this is
normally launched automatically when the system is booted; if it is not, you may start it by hand, as
root).
Then, the master and slaves must be configured correctly. The SLS/d master X server can execute on
any appropriate system, including one that is also executing a SLS/d slave X server. The SLS/d master
X server does not require a graphics display device. The SLS/d slave displays must all have the same
underlying graphics display device. To determine this, run "
/bin/graphinfo <device_file>
" (where
<device_file>
represents the graphics device file (e.g.,
/dev/crt0
) listed in that slave's
/etc/X11/X*screens
file) and search for the "
graphics product
".
To Configure the SLS/d Slave X Servers
Configuring an SLS/d slave X server is identical to configuring a normal (non-SLS) screen as described
above. The catch is that if any Screen or ServerOption(s) are configured for one slave, they must be
configured for all of the slave X servers.
