But never(!!!) attempt to enter the OBP monitor with [Stop+A], as long as Xorg is running. On Ati cards (such as the Blade 100's PGX64) this will lock your machine. The driver and (system's) OBP need to communicate every time, which the Xorg ati driver doesn't properly do. Tha's exactly why I would be interested in the XVR-100 Xorg driver, which is "due to be released shortly" since at least summer 2007. It is developed completely behind Sun's firewall. exactly as the kfb ddx module has been. And while the kfb module is available in binary only form (not even re-distributable !!), there are only "plans" to publish the sources. If at all. This is very unfortunate for Sun's customers, Solaris' users, and us community. Summary: Sun is shooting in their own feet. We will never see the XVR-100 driver's sources. Although they have my changes to the default vanilla-Xorg radeon driver as reference since over two years ago. Thier stuff costs them money, but they are unable to sponsore the community. And their (hell-expensive driver) is under development since about summer 2006. While my diffs make the vanilla Xorg radeon driver work for the XVR-100 since two years ago.
That's how it is. Regards, Martin
