XaAES setup


The goal of this project is to configure XaAES: launched by the kernel, AES then takes over and launches the GEM desktop (Teradesk or other). Status: ☑️

XaAES files

The file is located in drive_c/mint/1-19-0ea/xaaes/ (depending on the kernel version). XaAES consists of:

  • xaloader.prg: the kernel module loader
  • xaaes.km: the kernel module
  • xaaes.cnf: the configuration file
  • .rsc resource files
  • Translation files and documentation
  • .adi mouse drivers
  • Data folders (gradients, images, widgets, palettes, etc.)

Configuration file

Environment variables

  • setenv TOSRUN u:\usr\GEM\toswin2\tw-call.app

Default paths

logfile = u:\var\xaaes.log
ACCPATH   = u:\usr\GEM\accs
clipboard = u:\var\cache\clipbrd\
accpath   = u:\usr\GEM\accs
launchpath  = u:\usr\GEM

Language selection

It is possible to comment out this line so that XaAES detects the language from the system.

  • #lang = en

Start other programs

  • run u:\usr\GEM\toswin2\toswin2.app

Note: Do not confuse this with the kernel's exec directive, which does not allow launching graphical applications, as the GEM is not loaded.

System shell

  • shell = u:\usr\GEM\teradesk\desktop.prg
