Preemptive question, as I'm probably going to try building my kernel and emerging X today .. is anyone running SS20 with CGfourteen built-in framebuffer? I've managed to find an 8M simm for it, so it actually was working in 24 bit color at some point in the past (on Debian) .. but I don't remember anything about how I got it running |

I haven't used a cg14, but I can try to give a little information about using
one, based on the xf86 source & install:
- the driver (in the "Device" section) is "suncg14"
- the driver wants depth 32.
Other than that, just about any of the Config files posted in this forum should
work for you.
Not much information, but maybe of some use to you.
Regards, |

Well, I've got it "sort of" working ..
I get a black screen with an "X" cursor, but no visible window manager
I also seem to be getting lots of unresolved errors around xf86ExecX86int10 and xf86int10Addr ... |

I don't know about the unresolved references, and such. For your amusement,
here is a complete, working /etc/X11/Xf86Config file for a CG6; for the
cg14, I think you want the default depth=32, and you probably don't want
PseudoColor.

I can attest a 4M VSIMM will work in a ss20 (quite well in fact). The correct depth to use is depth=32. I do recall reading the 8M VSIMM having some issues. I believe the workaround was to set it to a depth=16. I do not have an 8M VSIMM so I cannot verify this.
Of course, this may be true only for older versions of XFree. Newer versions may not need the workaround... |

No problems at all using an 8MB vsimm in my SS20.
running 32 bit 1280x1024, best display in the house.
However, if I use Stop-A or the system watchdogs/panics
(quite often) the interleaving of the Prom display gets
messed up. Only Stop-A from a console.
CG6 doesn't have this problem, nor does Solaris using the
cgfourteen. |
