Well, since I just reinstalled my Ultra 10 test machine to snv_59
last week, I'll just show you what I did to get it running Xorg
again just now. First off - this works with m64, such as the on-board
graphics, but hasn't been tested successfully with any other
graphics device. (I've gotten a picture on XVR-100, but a very
very wrong picture, so it doesn't count.)
I ssh'ed in from another machine and stopped the running dtlogin/Xsun:
# /etc/init.d/dtlogin stop
Change the SMF properties to use Xorg server, and 8-bit depth (24 doesn't
work yet in the wsfb driver):
# svccfg -s x11-server
svc:/application/x11/x11-server> setprop options/default_depth=8
svc:/application/x11/x11-server> setprop options/server=/usr/X11/bin/Xorg
svc:/application/x11/x11-server> exit
Since I have an XVR-100 card and the m64 on-board device in my machine,
/dev/fb unfortunately points to the XVR-100 card, so I need to tell Xorg
to run on the m64 device (/dev/fbs/m640):
# /usr/X11/bin/Xorg -configure
# mv /xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf
# vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Unfortunately, Xorg -configure detected 4 potential devices (one m64, and one
pfb that offers two single head devices and one dual head device) and added all
4 of them, so I need to delete the extra Screen lines in Section "ServerLayout".
In the Section "Device" corresponding to the remaining Screen line,
I removed the BusID line and added a Device option to specify the device:
Section "Device"
### Available Driver options are:-
### Values: <i>: integer, <f>: float, <bool>: "True"/"False",
### <string>: "String", <freq>: "<f> Hz/kHz/MHz"
### [arg]: arg optional
#Option "ShadowFB" # [<bool>]
#Option "Rotate" # <str>
Identifier "Card0"
Driver "wsfb"
Option "Device" "/dev/fbs/m640"
EndSection
Then I restart dtlogin with the new configuration:
# /etc/init.d/dtlogin start
And a few seconds later, the big blue curve of the Solaris login screen is
staring back at me. I login to JDS, and try not to lose my lunch over
how hideously all it's beautiful gradients are rendered in 8-bit mode, but
that's not the problem at hand...
