Yes, I reckon the different graphics adapters is the issue. Sunblade 2500's come in different flavors. You have one with a 3D Labs card (aka Sun OEM XVR-600) and one with an ATI Radeon card (aka Sun OEM XVR-100).

Since they are both Sun OEM cards I would have thought that both drivers would be on your Solaris 9 installation media but I'm not sure (yet).

You could download the manufacturer's drivers but, in this case, I would rather download the Sun/Oracle version specifically for Solaris.

I'll need to check this out. Try searching this forum whilst I do that.

Perhaps another Solaris specialist will chime in too.

You could try swapping the card over from the other system but I'm not going to recommend you do that because you might generate a problem with your working system. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."
