and xprop), a diagnostic for seeing what events are generated and when (xev), screen image
manipulation utilities (xwd, xwud, xpr, and xmag), and various demos (xeyes, ico, xgc, x11perf, etc.).
Hewlett-Packard provides a graphical user environment called The Common Desktop Environment
(CDE). hp CDE is the user interface, enabling the user to control a workstation by directly manipulating
graphic objects instead of typing commands on a command-line prompt. See the CDE User's Guide for
complete information on hp CDE.
Hewlett-Packard does not provide or support the entire core MIT distribution. Many of these programs
or clients are sample implementations, or perform tasks that are accomplished by other clients in
Hewlett-Packard's Common Desktop Environment. The primary differences between the core MIT
distribution and the Hewlett-Packard X11 release are listed below:
Terminal Emulation
Although hpterm is the primary terminal emulator, xterm is also provided and supported.
Window Management
twm is replaced by mwm and dtwm.
Display Manager
xdm is replaced by an enhanced version called dtlogin.
Bitmap Editing
bitmap is replaced by dticon.
Font Display
This is handled by the terminal emulation option "-fn override". xfd is supplied but not
supported.
Demos
Obtained from the InterWorks users group.
A number of unsupported core MIT clients and miscellaneous utilities are provided in /usr/contrib/bin.
In addition, the entire core MIT distribution, compiled for Hewlett-Packard platforms, can be obtained
from hp's users group InterWorks for a nominal fee.
Many other utilities, window managers, games, toolkits, etc. are included as user-contributed software in
the MIT distribution, or are available using anonymous ftp on the Internet. See your site administrator
for details.
Starting Up
Normally, the X Window System is started on Hewlett-Packard systems by dtlogin, which is an
enhanced version of the MIT client xdm. dtlogin can be used to bring up a full CDE session, a light CDE
session, or a fail-safe session that uses no other part of CDE. If dtlogin is not used, xinit may be used
with x11start. See the reference pages for these functions for more information.
