Hi, The two graphics card options you should look at are the XVR-300 and XVR-2500 for SPARC. All other graphics cards are EOL and don't have support in the Xorg consolidation in OpenSolaris and Solaris 11. It would be nice if there were some Nvidia cards that worked on SPARC, since they work so well on x86 for Solaris, but that's not the case. For cards to work on SPARC, they have to have Fcode support for the OBP to operate properly.
There are other X11 server products you could use that have a wider support of cards, just keep in mind that only cards designed for SPARC will operate at the OBP. I think Xi Graphics is still around, so you can check them out: http://www.xig.com/Pages/OSsupport.html#Solaris%20OS%20anchor *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Octave J.

I see there are drivers for Solaris x86 on Nvidia site, noting on AMD. What options do one have if wants to put one ore several graphics cards in a relatively modern SPARC machines T1000, T1, T2 and up? (No older sparc hardware, but 2005/6+ one.) Thanks. _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
