Operating Systems Solaris How to install PGX32 on Sparc 10 Ultra? Post 302772222 by Michele31416 on Sunday 24th of February 2013 01:28:38 PM

How to install PGX32 on Sparc 10 Ultra?

I'm trying to install a PGX32 video card on my Sparc 10 Ultra running Solaris 10.

I've got the Oracle installation guide for it and I got as far as:

"4. Insert the CD-ROM labeled “GFX OpenWindows for Solaris 2” into the drive."


I don't have a CD-ROM by that name and a web search for that turned up nothing. Smilie

Further down in the guide, they offer the helpful advice: "To complete an installation from FTP files, you must first obtain the packages from Sun. Contact SunService for the correct packages and the site where the packages are located." So that's not going to work either.

I did an fbconfig -list but all that returned was /dev/fbs/m640 which is the onboard PGX graphics. The monitor connected to the PGX32 is displaying nothing.

Can someone help me get this thing going? Pretty please? Thanks!

NAME
update-rcconf-guide - Create default guide file for rcconf SYNOPSIS
update-rcconf-guide DESCRIPTION
Update-rcconf-guide creates the default guide file which rcconf uses. Update-rcconf-guide searches the package names corresponding to each service file in /etc/init.d directory from dpkg info files(/var/lib/dpkg/info/*.list) and get the description of these packages using apt-cache. Update-rcconf-guide uses Short-Description in priority to the description if service files has Short-Description field. Update-rcconf-guide writes those results to /var/lib/rcconf/guide.default file. You can write your own guide in user guide file(/var/lib/rcconf/guide) by hand. Rcconf refers Guides in /var/lib/rcconf/guide before those in /var/lib/rcconf/guide.default. If you install some packages after executed update-rcconf-guide, you need to re-create this file using update-rcconf-guide so as to refresh guide.default that includes new guides for installed new services. Notice: update-rcconf-guide was not executed when you installed rcconf package. FILE
/var/lib/rcconf/guide.default Guide File update-rcconf-guide generates. /var/lib/rcconf/guide Guide File user(Administrator) can define. SEE ALSO
