1) System setup

First, in order to use "sxdm" (dispaly manager),
you must modify /etc/rc.custom file and /etc/ttys
(if sxdm is not set).
"dmset" command can be used for the setup,
as follows.

    login as root, or use su command

	% su
	Password:
	#
	# /usr/sony/etc/dmset

    then, you will be asked reboot the system or not.

	reboot ok?(y/n)
	
    if you key in 'y' your system will automatically reboot.

Then X Window System start automatically
and sxdm pop up the login greeting window.
    
    
2) Personal setup

    Sxdm searches .sxsession in your home directory and if it is not there,
    mwm and sxsession will be executed as start up.
    If .nosxsession file (it can be empty file) exists,
    .xsession will be executed and if it is also not there, 
    terminal emulator will be 
    executed as console.
    Sample versions of .sxsession, .xsession (and .xinitrc) are
    to be found in /usr/lib/X11/sx/skel.


3) "LANG" Environment variable

    In order to use Japanese and code set Shift-JIS,
 
    in the $(HOME)/.sxsession (or .xsession),
    modify

LANG=ja_JP.SJIS
export LANG

    If you want to use Japanese and code set EUC,
    modify

LANG=ja_JP.EUC
export LANG


    If you want to use Korean and code set EUC,

LANG=ko_KO.EUC
export LANG

    If you want to use English and code set ISO 8859-1,

LANG=en_US.88591
export LANG


    Or you can set it in $(HOME)/.userinfo
    (you don't have to export then)

LANG=ja_JP.SJIS


3) Others

    if you don't want to use "sxdm",
    but want to use "xinit" command to start X,
    then

	% cp /usr/lib/X11/sx/skel/.xinitrc ~

    if you don't want to use "sxdm",
    but want to use "xdm" 
    then

	% cp /usr/lib/X11/sx/skel/.xsession ~
