Operating Systems Solaris How to install PGX32 on Sparc 10 Ultra? Post 302773249 by Michele31416 on Wednesday 27th of February 2013 02:48:29 PM

Good suggestions. Here's the details - this install was apparently doomed form the start because while executing the GFX install_all script I got this message:

Code:
Installing Raptor GFX-C System Software/Device Driver v1.4 as <TSIgfc>

## Installing part 1 of 1.
/a/platform/sun4u/kernel/drv/gfxc
[ verifying class <none> ]
## Executing postinstall script.
No such file or directory
Cnnot access file (/a/etc/minor_perm).

Failed add_drv!

pkginstall: ERROR: postinstall script did not complete successfully

Installation of <TSIgfc> on zone <bristol-jes> failed.
## Restoring state of global zone <bristol-jes>

I continued on anyway in the hope that everything would somehow magically sort itself otu but of course it didn't. I did a boot -r but that didn't matter since the new device didn't get installed. A check of fbconfig -prconf confirmed that my only driver is the built-in 8 bit one.

So next I tried to address the missing SUNWowrqd package. I did find one on an old Solaris 2.3 CD I had lying around but when I went to do the pkginstall, it said all the files it was wanting to install were already in the system. So I aborted that. But what's odd is if I do a pkginfo | grep SUNWow, it does not find SUNWowrqd.

Anyway I then uninstalled the GFX drivers, rebooted again and at least now I can log back in to my Sun Java desktop.

So now I think the problem becomes why am I getting this "No such file or directory" error. I looked that up in Google and didn't find any answers. I'm getting ready to chuck this whole machine out the window.

"One of the links I provided previously explained how to tell the service processor about the new adapter and switch off the old one. (I assume the old one is on-board so can't be taken out?"

That's right - the PGX device is right on the mobo and the PGX32 occupies a PCI slot. The hardware knows it's there because


# prtdiag -v

Shows Bus# PCI-2 , slot 1, Name=TSI,gfxp, Model=GFXP

I'm sorry, I must have missed that link, but I think we need to get the new driver at least installed before going any further.

mdbfontsize

mdbFontSize(5)							 The m17n Library						    mdbFontSize(5)

NAME

       mdbFontSize - Font Size

DESCRIPTION

       In some case, a font contains incorrect information about its size (typically in the case of a hacked TrueType font), which results in a
       bad text layout when such a font is used in combination with the other fonts. To overcome this problem, the m17n library loads information
       about font-size adjustment from the m17n database by the tags <font, resize>. The data is loaded as a plist of this format.

       FONT-SIZE-ADJUSTMENT ::= PER-FONT *

       PER-FONT ::= '(' FONT-SPEC ADJUST-RATIO ')'

       FONT-SPEC ::=
	   '(' [ FOUNDRY FAMILY
	      [ WEIGHT [ STYLE [ STRETCH [ ADSTYLE ]]]]]
	    REGISTRY ')'

       ADJUST-RATIO ::= INTEGER

       FONT-SPEC is to specify properties of a font. FOUNDRY to REGISTRY are symbols corresponding to Mfoundry to Mregistry property of a font.
       See m17nFont for the meaning of each property.

       ADJUST-RATIO is an integer number specifying by percentage how much the font-size must be adjusted. For instance, this PER-FONT:

	   ((devanagari-cdac) 150)

       instructs the font handler of the m17n library to open a font of 1.5 times bigger than a requested size on opening a font whose registry is
       'devanagari-cdac'.
