This would not be worth the effort to port the ATI DRM at this time. The Xorg ATI 3D driver is not really reliable in doing any high-level rendering and still a major work in progress. This might become more promising if we were to port over ATI's Catalyst driver project. I expect this to change by Nov 2009 - but the workaround is to use Nvidia-based cards for any 3D rendering/OpenGL work for now. You can get decent Nvidia Quadro FX and GeForce FX 8xxx-based cards for about $35-50 USD. ~ Ken Mays ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

Re: [osol-discuss] regretting for OS... (was ATI Radeon 1650 DRI)
Thank you all for replies... Nothing personal, but let's review my expreience with OpenSolaris as desktop system. 1) There were no support for extended partitions in OSOL 2009.06. It's a big disadvantage, cause I have a lot of data on NTFS-formatted logical drive on extended partition. No matter, I've said, there will be snv build 119 and everything will be ok. 2) There are not enough gstreamer plugins (all suggestions are to BUY fluendo codecs). Why should I do it, if there is gstreamer-plugins-ugly? I can compile it... Yes, but after compilation totem dies trying to play WMA files But I still can try to compile mplayer. Yes, but it fails to compile with strange errors about asm files... 3) I'd like to use MY graphic card, I've already bought it for about 70-100$ and it is not a small amount money for me... Maybe I should wait for OpenSolaris 10.02 of course 4) It's said on winehq site that Wine support with sound is available starting from snv_116, but 09.06 is snv_111b-based... When I'm trying to update to snv_117, ips tries to download approximately 330 Mb... Not very good. But I need to update to snv_119 to see my partition, and it's not ready. And there were strange issues with transfering files (some network timeouts, happening only with pkg.opensolaris.org)... And last... It is possible to run Oracle 10g R2 on Solaris/x64. It could work on OpenSolaris with some tricks... But there is Oracle 11g already. And it is supported on Linux without so many hacks. So, at the end we have the following disadvantages of running OpenSolaris as desktop system 1) insufficient of drivers; 2) insufficient of codecs; 3) insufficient of 3-rd party software support... No, seriously. I really like OpenSolaris (I support two SR servers, running on it). Zones, ZFS, DTrace are perfect tools for server systems. But in my mind for desktop OpenSolaris is not enough. Everything is going to work (if you pay money or wait for next releases or work for at least several days on this problem...). Maybe when OSOL 2010.02 comes out, I'll give it a chance... But now as a desktop OS Ubuntu rocks... It just works.

I was wondering if anyone has been able to get xbmc working under opensolaris. I recently installed opensolaris on my desktop and i was impressed with how easy it was. I have used ZFS on freebsd so i figured i should check out opensolaris. If it is able to be compiled, i'd love to switch my htpc's to opensolaris. I did a google search and didn't see much info out there regarding xbmc on opensolaris.

Hi Alexander, I think you have already the most of things fixed, but let me comment this: Alexander píše v st 08. 07. 2009 v 05:27 -0700: > Thank you all for replies... > > Nothing personal, but let's review my expreience with OpenSolaris as desktop > system. > > 1) There were no support for extended partitions in OSOL 2009.06.

That is truth and it took several years to do it correctly. Our (OpenSolaris community) fault we were not investing more resources to it.

Can you distribute some short WMA file with which I can reproduce it, so I can try to root cause it and fix it? Or give me core file of dying totem? And yes, we must care about patents.

It is not available yet for simple "click'n'click" but you can have such support immediately if you know how to download/compile/apply.

As 10+ years-Debian user I tried Ubuntu several times (and I needed to use that ATi binary driver, OMG). No, thanks. One thing you should learn if you want to participate in good communities - complaining is important part of the contribution. But without enough data and/or complaining on proper places and/or offering help, it is only ranting if no good effect for you nor the community.

[osol-discuss] new to opensolaris, trying to understand the directory structure better
about 2-3 years ago i gave up windows for Ubuntu. I learned a lot but after awhile decided it was time to move on, after a few other linux distros i decided to try FreeBSD. I love FreeBSD for my servers but it's not that great for the desktop. Because of that, i decided to give opensolaris a try. So far i love it, it's amazingly easy to use, and it didn't take long to learn most of the package management stuff. I've been scouring google for information, and one thing i LOVED about FreeBSD is the handbook...it's amazing, is there anything like that for opensolaris? I'd like to understand the inner workings of the system better, and most importantly, the directory structure. It seems theres a ton of places where software is installed...i get what /bin and /usr/bin is all about, and i understand the idea of /opt but it seems like things are way more separated in opensolaris. This isn't a BAD thing, i'd just like to understand HOW it works and what it means.

Re: [osol-discuss] Spell checking for Emacs?
Well, I've had to sort this out on my own. It turns out that it's relatively easy to get spell checking working under Emacs with aspell. That's what the two Linux distros I have, OpenSUSE and Fedora, use for Emacs. Since they both come with Hunspell, I guess the packagers of those distros couldn't get Hunspell working under Emacs any better than I could. (It does compile under OpenSolaris without any problems, and works from the command line. The problem is that it doesn't work with the Emacs ispell mode.) GNU aspell didn't compile for me with ncurses, so I used "./configure --disable-curses". You don't need ncurses to be enabled in aspell anyway, if you're only going to use it in Emacs. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

While I appreciate that you are frustrated, let's not exaggerate the issues. It was possible to perform installs and/or updates though there were significant connectivity issues at times preventing that for many users. Please also note that this past weekend was a national holiday in the US. In the future, there will be additional mirroring options for those that want to have their own complete, local repository containing the 2009.06 release.

[osol-discuss] VirtualBox 3.0
With VirtualBox 2.2.2 and 2.2.4 in a non-global zone I am unable to use FreeBSD as a guest, although FreeBSD works with VirtualBox 2.2.0. So can SUN verify that FreeBSD works as a guest in VirtualBox 3.0 in a non-global zone? Also, is OpenBSD EVER going to work in VirtualBox? If not, then delist it from the list of supported operating systems. It would be nice to get supposedly "supported" operating systems like OpenBSD to work in a VirtualBox release rather than charging off into the sunset and adding new features when the old one doesn't work right to being with. That is like adding a new valve mechanism but not improving the cam timing. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

Re: [osol-discuss] VirtualBox 3.0
Thanks, but I have already opened a bug ticket (4226) with virtualbox.org and there was only one response - asking if I followed the documentation - without regard to reading that 2.2.0 works but not later releases. I thought since that bug and the OpenBSD full disk and seg faults aren't dealt with on virtualbox.org, then I would post here with the thought that since SUN owns virtualbox then possibly it would get routed to engineers there and possibly have resolutions to existing problems. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

I don't complain, I'm only explaining all issues which I had with OpenSolaris. I don't want to have a constructor (like RH 7.1). I want to have a normal system which just works without any magic actions and do what I need. And if it's a constructor, it should be a good constructor (compare ports collection and OpenSolaris specs set...) cd /usr/ports/multimedia/gstreamer-plugins-ugly/ && make && make install -- 3 steps, 15 minutes And I'm trying to enable WMA playback for a 2 or 3 days... FreeBSD, Ubuntu Linux are such systems (Yes, FreeBSD doesn't have Oracle support, but XE works on it in some way. It's not a perfect desktop (commercial soft is a problem), but it looks like a complete system...) I've thought about FreeBSD->OpenSolaris migration at work, but now I see , that this OS is not ready yet for desktop... Ok. Let's stop flame and return to the constructive discussion...
