i can't find the creator 3d card anywhere to define the correct driver in the xorg.conf file, does anyone know which driver i have to specify? and does anyone know how much ram they were shipped with?
thanks

use IIRC sunffb as the name of the driver.
how much ram you say it has shouldnt make a differance anyway, but different models of C3D had dif amounts of ram.... you'd have to give a model number for anyone to tell you how much YOURS has, and even then you'd likely just get a link to the sun system handbook on sun.com

Well, the keyboard driver depends on what version of X you're using. If it's X.org 6.8.x (the latest stable release), this is the InputDevice section to have (assuming a standard type5 keyboard, US layout):
| Code: |
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "keyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "sun"
Option "XkbModel" "type5"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
EndSection
|
You have to use the deprecated keyboard driver, otherwise you run into keymap shifting and other b0rkage... |
