Operating Systems Solaris Solaris newbie, need help Post 302265504 by reborg on Sunday 7th of December 2008 06:33:56 PM

Solaris by default sets the line output muted and the internal speaker active for sound. Your soundcard is probably working fine except that the line output is off, so have a look at the settings in the volume control (mute master mono, and unmute master stereo)

The video card is a bit more difficult, but still relatively straightforward to correct ( only type the bits in bold face)

Code:
# init 0
ok {}  show-displays
a) /pci@1f,0/SUNW,m64B@13
b) /pci@8,700000/SUNW,XVR-1200@1
q) NO SELECTION
Enter Selection, q to quit: b   (this is my xvr-1200)

You will then see:
Code:
/pci@8,700000/SUNW,XVR-1200@1 has been selected.
Type ^Y ( Control-Y ) to insert it in the command line.
e.g. ok nvalias mydev ^Y
for creating devalias mydev for /pci@8,700000/SUNW,XVR-1200@1

then enter:
Code:
ok {} nvalias screen ^Y (control+y)
ok {} reset-all

sysdef

sysdef(1M)						  System Administration Commands						sysdef(1M)

NAME

       sysdef - output system definition

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/sysdef [-i] [-n namelist]

       /usr/sbin/sysdef [-h] [-d] [-i] [-D]

DESCRIPTION

       The  sysdef utility outputs the current system definition in tabular form. It lists all hardware devices, as well as pseudo devices, system
       devices, loadable modules, and the values of selected kernel tunable parameters.

       It generates the output by analyzing the named bootable operating system file (namelist) and extracting the configuration information  from
       it.

       The default system namelist is /dev/kmem.

OPTIONS

       -i	       Prints  the  configuration information from /dev/kmem. This is the default and only needs to be specified if the configura-
		       tion information from both /dev/kmem and the system file specified with the "-n namelist" option is needed.

       -nnamelist      Specifies a namelist other than the default (/dev/kmem). The namelist specified must be a valid bootable operating system.

       -h	       Prints the identifier of the current host in hexadecimal. This numeric value is unique across all Sun hosts.

       -d	       The output includes the configuration of system peripherals formatted as a device tree.

       -D	       For each system peripheral in the device tree, display the name of the device driver used to manage the peripheral.
