The SCO X Server uses a dynamic loading mechanism to access different drivers. A new display driver is installed into the apropriate directory, in a manner similar to how a device driver exists in the kernel link kit. Each driver resides in a directory named after itself. The object modules have a specified name and pathname, shown in the following table:
Platform | Object name | Example: full pathname of nte8 driver |
---|---|---|
SCO OpenServer 5 | XDriver.o | /usr/lib/X11/dyddx/nte8/XDriver.o |
SVR5 | libXDriver.o | /usr/X/lib/X11/dyddx/nte8/libXDriver.o |
At startup, the server does the following:
As the X Server detects each graphics adapter
that is configured by the user,
it automatically pulls in the display driver needed
for that piece of hardware.
