Hi. As I told in my earlier post in this thread: I installed open solaris 2008.05 on my laptop and tried to enhance the visual effects. Rightclick >> Desktopbackground >> Visual effects >> customize. Then I clicked on confirm settings.After that the laptop hanged.Now even after restarting, the system reboots and hangs again within a second or two.
[b]An opensolaris representative helped me out on this issue and had the following to say: [/b] You are running into http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=1334 The solution is to update the intel_drv.so module and the associated dri modules. I have attached a tar file with the binaries. Please disable gdm and copy these binaries. The attached script copies the binaries into place if you want to use it. I did exactly as directed and the drivers I copied are as follows: cp test-binaries/32-bit/intel_drv.so /usr/X11/lib/modules/drivers/ cp test-binaries/32-bit/i915_dri.so /usr/X11/lib/modules/dri/ cp test-binaries/32-bit/i965_dri.so /usr/X11/lib/modules/dri/ cp test-binaries/64-bit/intel_drv.so /usr/X11/lib/modules/drivers/amd64/ cp test-binaries/64-bit/i915_dri.so /usr/X11/lib/modules/dri/amd64/ cp test-binaries/64-bit/i965_dri.so /usr/X11/lib/modules/dri/amd64/ I checked them by browsing through console but still no luck. The system hangs as soon as I switch on the gdm. [b]So the main issue according to me is:[/b] The problem surfaced mainly when I did desktop background>>visual effects>>customize. Which means that I enabled the compiz. And I guess as soon as I reboot my system now, the compiz is getting enabled which hangd my system. [b]So what I want to ask is: [/b]1. Can we manipulate the compiz settings using bash? 2. We must be able to control startup scripts using bash. So can we disable the script or whatever that starts compiz using bash? I will be thankful if any one helps. This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
