If you want the robustness of Solaris, so why do aim at replacing
significant subsystems that _do_ implement this robustness ?
The question is extlactly to understand, how works the normal
X11-Solaris display : about this, i think that it has a little changed
between Solaris 8 , 9, and 10.
For this goal, i have today one way : kdmconfig. And i found this :
As my machine fresh standard installed is, kdmconfig is switched by
default on X86, not on Xsun : and the reason for this resides probabily
in my graphic board, an Ati Radeon 9200 ; in the driver list (kdm) we
can only find a ... "X86-radeon" driver (also selected by default),
because, i means, not any other was written from Sun or from Radeon for Sun.
A also found a command (an executable) /usr/X11/bin/xorgconfig, if i
good remember, which generate a correct xorg.conf for Solaris : the
interest is, of course, that with the options it's possible to activate
same acceleration features, wich is actually for me the one need for
FlightGear works fine.
But... But that all, i will only use if the other possibility itself
don't works !
And this other possibility, it's simply ... Xsun.
Preparing my machine, i switched kdm to Xsun (=Sun/X11), with the
corrects display settings (1280 x 1024, 24 bits) and ... X86-radeon,
because i don't have other by hand. And it works, without error message
at the boot.
- the display is a little not so wonderful as with Sun/Xfree (!), but
better as under Linux and, which important here is, it seems that it has
a better acceleration (comparing with standard Xfree on Sun).
Now i can proceed to experiment this with FlightGear, but i stand
because your annunced update to Sol 10. I have also another CAD program
(Ayam), which requires acceleration for display NURBScurves.
But one problem after the other !
If FlightGear works fine, OK.
If not :
1) the first thing will be to know, if it's possible to find any
acceleration setting in Xsun, or another driver for my Radeon.
2) the second, for a moment ... Xfree, and other hand to forward the
learning (and the help !) to Xsun...
3) the third, to buy a 2500 biprocessor with many accelerators and to
transport it at home in my Stuttgart-low-cost car...
Best regards,
Sergio
