Setting up the NFB_GRAFINFO defines in ODM (AIX 5L)
The NFB_GRAFINFO definitions in the ODM database
establish the relationship between
each defined operating mode of the video system
(resolution, scan rate, and so forth)
and the data items needed by your video driver
to establish that mode.
To set up the NFB_GRAFINFO definitions:
-
Create a grafinfo file
that is populated with information about your device.
If you have a working SVR5 NFB driver,
you can use this file.
Otherwise, you can use the ??? file
as a template.
-
Translate the grafinfo file into a GRAFINFO.add file
by running the conversion script:
/usr/ddk/src/native/nfb/tools/xgi2odm.awk
Details about running this script
are supplied in usage notes at the top of the script.
-
Use the output of the conversion to replace
the <xxx>GRAFINIFO.add file
that xxkddx set up
under the grafinfo directory
in your driver's working directory.
-
To add the NFB_GRAFINFO class to the ODM database,
use the odmadd command:
# ODMDIR=/usr/lib/objrepos odmadd <xxx>GRAFINFO.add
-
Use the odmget command to query the ODM database
and verify that your object has been added:
# ODMDIR=/usr/lib/objrepos odmget -q"Model=<xxx>" NFB_GRAFINFO
-
To delete this item, use the odmget command
to verify that it is there,
then use the odmdelete command to remove it:
# ODMDIR=/usr/lib/objrepos odmdelete -o NFB_GRAFINFO -q"Model=<xxx>"
