A/UX 2.0 and Native X11: Frequently Asked Questions


This article contains frequently asked questions (FAQ) about A/UX 2.0 and Native X11.


Question: Can you configure "native" X11 to use an "azerty" keyboard?

Answer: On an "xterm" window, we think that the X client application called "xmodmap", a keyboard modifier utility for X, could be used to alter the X keyboard map and key symbol table.  For example, on a standard Apple Macintosh keyboard, to change the capital letter "A" to a capital letter "Q", you would use the command:  xmodmap -e "keycode 20 = A".

For more details, please see the xmodmap (1) manual pages.


Question: How can I configure "native" X11 to have a 24-bit display?

Answer: The current distributed Macintosh A/UX "native" X server, which is based on X11R4, supports only 1-bit (monochrome) and 8-bit (8 bits per pixel, 256 colors) displays.
