Yay! Setting the default bit depth worked a treat. I'm now "enjoying" 8-bit Xorg on SPARC!
Below are your instructions, with line wraps restored (jive seemed to have mislaid them for some reason): 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: : integer, : float, : "True"/"False", ### : "String", : " Hz/kHz/MHz" ### [arg]: arg optional #Option "ShadowFB" # [] #Option "Rotate" # 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... -- -Alan Coopersmith- alan dot coopersmith at sun dot com Sun Microsystems, Inc. - X Window System Engineering _______________________________________________ xwin-discuss mailing list xwin-discuss at opensolaris dot org This message posted from opensolaris.org
