If your SCO OpenServer Desktop System is short of memory,
you can release memory for use
by simplifying the Desktop environment.
If your system is very memory bound,
consider making the following changes. These
are given in order, from the most to the least
effective in releasing memory for use:
Do not use the Desktop client,
xdt3(XC),
if you do not need to click and drag icons to perform tasks.
You can configure the pmwm Root menu
to list clients that you often use,
or you can start clients from the
xterm or scoterm command line.
See the
Graphical Environment Guide
for more information about
adding clients to or deleting clients from the Root menu.
Disable
scologin(XC)
from running on the console
if a machine is the host for several X terminals,
and you want scologin to manage only their displays.
Disabling the X server from running saves several
processes and their associated memory.
See the
Graphical Environment Guide
for more information about enabling and disabling scologin.
Run fewer graphical
X clients.
This reduces overall memory requirements.
For non-critical tasks where you need only basic functionality,
use non-graphical applications or X clients that
require less memory.
