The file called .Xdefaults in your home directory is loaded into the X server using the xrdb program when you start your X session. In this file, each X application has a number of options which can be set, such as reverse video, window size, window location, and many others. You can set these options so that they are set every time you start up an application. A line in your .Xdefaults file follows this format:

name.Class.resource: value
Here

The asterisk can be used as a wildcard, making it easy to write a single rule that can be applied to many different applications or elements, for example

xterm*geometry

if the name of the program is omitted this is a universal setting, for example

Many programs, such as emacs, have sample .Xdefaults so you can learn about some more of the defaults you can set.

For the colors available to you, use xcolorsel. You can either use the name of the color, or the 8-bit representation of the color.

For fonts, use xfontsel.

To reload your .Xdefaults after you have changed them without logging out, type in a shell:

xrdb -merge .Xdefaults

As for slection of options here are some heuristics:

  1. Check the manpage
  2. Use what you know from other programs
  3. Check the source :-)

Hi,
OK so attachments don't work :-(
xstartup:-
#!/bin/sh

#xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
#xsetroot -solid grey
#xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
/usr/dt/bin/Xsession &


vncserver :-
# Add font path and color database stuff here, e.g.:

# $cmd .= " -fp /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc/,/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/";
$cmd .= " -fp /usr/openwin/lib/X11/fonts/F3bitmaps/,/usr/openwin/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/,/usr/openwin/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/,/usr/openwin/lib/X11/fonts/misc/,/usr/openwin/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/,/usr/openwin/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/,/usr/openwin/lib/X11/fonts/Xt+/";
# $cmd .= " -co /usr/lib/X11/rgb";

Hi,
I have VNC working with Solaris 7 and CDE and have attached the xstartup script from ~/.vnc and the Xvnc startup script called vncserver.
Take a look at the lines after the comment:-
#Add font path and color database stuff here


Hope this helps.

Cheers
Richard.

mmm ... I'm logging as root and /.Xresources does not exist, altough I'm able
to
log phisically on the machine as root without any problem. I tried to xrdb
/usr/dt/config/es/Xresources but it does not make any difference.

Yes, a lot of times.

Yes.

PATH is fine.

I just check if dtwm was running, but it's not running. I have this on
/.dt/startlog

It seems that dthello refuses to start and thus dtwm is also not started.
I also tried to start it following instructions provided by Maeda Atusi:

If I do that I get 4 errors from Xsession like this ones:

/usr/openwin/bin/xset:  bad font path element (#37), possible causes are:
    Directory does not exist or has wrong permissions
    Directory missing fonts.dir
    Incorrect font server address or syntax

If I change DTXSERVERLOCATION to local then

If I just start without twm and then start dtwm it doees nothing, maybe the
problem seems to be that dtwm does not find the fonts that it requires for
some reason (-dt-interface-***). I aslo tried to xset all font paths that
contains -dt-interface fonts is /usr/openwin/lib/locale/*/fonts/* but does
not make any difference.

!    Xterms can be designed from three different sets of resources:
! VT100, Tektronix (or TEK4104), and generic Xterm resources.  In
! Some instances, you cannot get the effects you want by simply
! using the generic Xterm resources.  The scrollbar, which is a VT100
! component, is one of them.  True, you could have used Xterm*scrollBar
! to activate the scrollbar, but you would run out of luck if you tried
! setting its color without using VT100.
!    The other resources in the example are typical settings.
