Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Multiple monitor support
Consider editing Xorg.conf leaving just very basic sections, and start from there. Most problems with X's starting is related to the wrong driver settings in Device section, something like that: Section "Device" Identifier "Device0" Driver "vesa" #Choose the driver used for this monitor EndSection Vesa driver is very generic driver, which work with most of the GPU's, no acceleration and poor resolution, but you can treat it as a rollback solution. 2015-09-10 0:40 GMT+02:00 John D Groenveld: > In message

You can generate xorg.conf file to start work on it, with command: # Xorg :0 -configure Regards, 2015-09-09 19:56 GMT+02:00 Rick C.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] OpenSXCE/SPARC: It was a mistake to keep the site online.
Well, for me it is mistake to mix up technology with politics. I respects the right of having opinion (everybody has it right?) but I strongly belive that it should be separate from technology blog where expectation was to find technical data about the distro.. Well, if you decide to drop the project thats your call.. We(me?)(the idiots) will find other way.. Cheers, 2014-09-14 19:02 GMT+02:00 Martin Bochnig mar...@martux.org: It was a mistake to keep the site online. Cordial thanks nevertheless to the few fellows, who have proven to be true friends. And although I wanted to publish the src long ago (and in fact did contribute openly [in real-time openly] from 2005 till 2009), now that's the final nail in the coffin. p.s. to Nikola: You stated long ago, that you are not a coder, so what are your plans with the src? Furthermore it is nonsense what you write about the CDDL terms. The CDDL permits the developer to keep the src closed, similar to the Xorg license. For this reason the exact opposite of what Mr. Nikola wrote. He is a person who never ever did _anything_ for OpenSXCE, SPARC nor for myself. What gives him the riht to place demand after demand after demand??? I saw a number of folks throw around with their plans and technical terms. It is almost funny. The most ridiculous part was with the alldged Putin-backdoor which one smart person (from Poland?) expects to be hidden in OpenSXCE. For such blind idiots I no longer waste my time. Also sad, that only a friend pointed out that OpenSXCE was until today also available for x86/x64. Even with native Intel gfx support via DRM/GEM Plus with native support for the final Adobe Flash plugin (no loading order workaround nor anything else LD* related). I bet a million that there will never be any distro coming only remotely close to OpenSXCE. http://openindiana.org/pipermail/openindiana-discuss/2014-September/date.html NEVER AGAIN!

I decided to finally ship the long promised Intel DRM/GEM/KMS port, although it is still limited and broken at this moment. All KMS-only Intel ddx'es (all the way from 2.10 to 2.22.910 / 3.0RC) do manage to negotiate GEM and KMS and come up into a typical -retro X11 root-window, but then get lost in an indefinite loop of pollsys() / ioctl(). The X11 server never gets to the point where it accepts any connections. Therefore OpenSXCE uses the one of OpenBSD5.3's Xenocara, which is mistakenly sometimes referred to as the last UMS-capable driver, which is nonsense. While it still contains Mathhieu Herrb's UMS backports for older chipsets, new hardware requires KMS to be present, anyway in the 2010/2011 state of development. Also it requires at least a lot more of GEM support, than the DRM/GEM code included in OS/Net 147 (and hence Illumos) had. To test this, the easiest is to remove /dev/dri/card0, and then see which error messages you get ;-) Whatever, on Sandy and higher I enabled DRI2 for this release, as demonstration. glxgears (which needs AIGLX and not DRI2) works fine. xdriinfo and glxinfo also confirm, that DRI2 is up and running on Sandy (as indicated by Xorg.0.log), but as soon as you want to start compiz, it segfaults and you end up in text mode (if enabled, gdm screen).

Cheers, 2014-09-12 9:39 GMT+02:00 Peter j...@zeus.net.au: I agree with Nikola and I'd also like to add: Martin's circumstances and success is inexorably linked to the success of Illumos and OI, commercial projects that build upon successful free projects are also often successful. Last I checked the terms and conditions, OpenSXCE is a commercial project. Martin has held on to his vision longer than most would due to his conviction and determination. Successful commercial projects also contribute back to their free community projects. Success comes with stability and surety, the only way that can occur is for people with different needs and common interests to find a way to understand each others needs and find acceptable compromises.

If you’re interested, write him at mar...@martux.org It appears to be the only open source distro for sparc, and I have not seen anyone else having much interest in it, so if you want an open source distro for sparc, I think that is your only option. And I’m not sure I should call this an “open source” project, but it is a free one. Seems like people are saying enough with not involving. Open source is more important then 'free project'. Being OpenSource or not - is fundamental differentiator between something being interesting and usefull and not. Free software Copyleft licenses (CDDL, others) require derivative work to be open if distributed. Not to mention need for code to be audited by wider audience before wider use and the time needed for the code changes to be reviewed independently, when released. All this is not present in OpenSXCE and therefore, results are known. I really like what Martin is doing, would very much like to help him, and would like to see people to contribute to him back by all means, only some need of openness in the projects is needed.
