Sounds like I should use utxconfig and not utresadm. However, it appears that the "-s" option has been deprecated in SR3.0 so my question is whether I need to do the equivalent of "/opt/SUNWut/bin/utxconfig -s off" using the "-r" option (or some other option) and if so how? Or is this all I need to do, "/opt/SUNWut/bin/utxconfig -a -r 1024x768" to set the system-wide default?
The '-s' option should be the same in SRSS 3.0 as it was in SRSS 2.0. In 3.0 you still need to use '-s', exactly as you did in 2.0. '-s' was deprecated in SRSS 3.1 when we finally got around to doing things the way they should have been done in the first place. As of 3.1 you no longer have to remember to explicitly use '-s', and you no longer have to worry about '-s' affecting both the X desktop dimensions *and* the desktop multihead geometry. In 3.1 the behaviours that used to be controlled by '-s' are implied by '-r WxH' (which automatically does the equivalent of '-s off' for desktop dimensions) or '-R CxR' (which automatically does the equivalent of '-s off' for multihead geometry). In 3.1 if you want to turn on auto-sizing for desktop dimensions you do '-r auto', and to turn on auto-geometry detection for multihead you do '-R auto'. Prior to 3.1 you would have used '-s on' to turn on auto-sensing for both of those settings, you couldn't control them separately. So the answer to your question, if you're using SRSS 3.1, is that to set a system-wide default for desktop dimensions you only need to execute '/opt/SUNWut/bin/utxconfig -a -r 1024x768'. If in 2.0 you were also (accidentally or deliberately) depending on '-s off' to force a single-head desktop regardless of whether the X desktop was launched on a multihead Sun Ray group then in 3.1 you need to run '/opt/SUNWut/bin/utxconfig -a -R 1x1' to force that behaviour. If you don't have Sun Rays configured into multihead groups then don't worry about '-R'. OttoM. __ ottomeister Disclaimer: These are my opinions. I do not speak for my employer.
