System Administration Commands kdmconfig(1M)
NAME
kdmconfig - configure or unconfigure keyboard, display, and
mouse options for OpenWindows and internationalization
SYNOPSIS
kdmconfig
kdmconfig [-fv] [-s hostname] -c | -t | -u | -d filename
DESCRIPTION
The kdmconfig program configures or unconfigures the
/etc/openwin/server/etc/OWconfig file with the keyboard,
display, and mouse information relevant to a client's
machine on x86 based systems for Solaris software. kdmcon-
fig can also be used to set up the display, pointer, and
keyboard entries in the bootparams(4) database on a server
machine or the monitor, keyboard, display, and pointer key-
words in a sysidcfg(4) file. kdmconfig can only be run by
the super-user. Upon completion of device selection,
kdmconfig prompts the user to test the configuration, which
is done by running the window system.
The kdmconfig program is normally run during installation
and upon reboot, but it can also be run from the command
line after the system has been installed. When configuring a
client during an initial installation or a reconfigure
reboot, the sysidconfig(1M) program will invoke kdmconfig
with the -c option, and when the user executes the sys-
unconfig(1M) program, kdmconfig will be executed with the -u
option. Similarly, when you run kdmconfig from the command
line, use the -u option to unconfigure the existing OpenWin-
dows configuration. You can then rerun kdmconfig with the
-cf options to create a new OpenWindows configuration. To
edit the existing configuration, run kdmconfig from the com-
mand line without options. After each reboot, kdmconfig will
be invoked by the system with the -t (test mode) option to
ensure autoconfiguration capability and identify possible
conflicts between the current configuration and the one
recorded in the OWconfig file.
OPTIONS
The valid options are:
-c Run the program in the configuration mode.
This mode is used to create or update the
OWconfig file. When invoked in this way,
kdmconfig first looks for the relevant con-
figuration information in the bootparams(4)
databases. It also takes into account the
information returned from device probes,
unless the -s option is also used. The boot-
params(4) databases available to the client

are all of the /etc/bootparams files on
servers on the same subnet as the client,
provided the server machine is running the
bootparamd(1M) daemon. kdmconfig is invoked
with the -c option when called by
sysidconfig(1M)
-d filename Set up a sysidcfg(4) file. This option
displays the same screens as the -c option,
but the information you specify is saved as
sysidcfg(4) keywords (monitor, keyboard,
display, and pointer). This enables you to
use a sysidcfg (4) file to preconfigure a
system's device information and bypass
kdmconfig during an installation.
filename is the sysidcfg(4) file that is
created, and it is created in the directory
where kdmconfig is being run unless a path
is specified. If filename already exists in
the specified directory, the keywords are
appended to the existing file.
-f Force screens mode. When this option is
invoked, no network probing will be per-
formed. This is helpful when debugging the
client's configuration environment. Note
that the -s option implies the use of -f,
bypassing network probing when setting up a
server.
-s hostname Set up the bootparams(4) database on this
machine for the specified client. This
option presents the same screens as it does
when run on a client, but instead writes the
resulting information to the /etc/bootparams
file. Also, -s implies the use of the -f
option. That is, the program will always
present the screens to the user when invoked
this way. This option will reconfigure the
nsswitch.conf( 4) file to look for a boot-
params(4) database on a local server. This
option is only available to the super-user.

System Administration Commands kdmconfig(1M)
-t Run the program in test mode. In this mode,
kdmconfig will use device probe information
to determine whether the OWconfig file con-
tains complete and up-to-date information
about the keyboard, display, and mouse. If
the information is accurate, kdmconfig will
exit silently. Otherwise, kdmconfig will
prompt for the super-user password and
proceed to a normal editing session (as
though it had been run without options).
-u Unconfigure the system, returning it to an
"out-of-the-box" state. In this state, the
factory default keyboard, mouse, and display
are selected as a result of removing the
device configuration entries from the
/etc/openwin/server/etc/OWconfig file. This
may result in an unusable configuration for
the display server.
-v Enable verbose mode. Normally, kdmconfig
will not produce any output. This option is
helpful for debugging, as it records the
different actions taken by kdmconfig on
stderr.
No Options
Run without options, kdmconfig is used to edit the current
configuration. kdmconfig uses the information from the
OWconfig file in addition to information obtained from the
bootparams(4) file and from device probes. In other
respects, it is similar to using the -c option of kdmconfig.
