About This Book

Solaris(TM) 2.5 x86 Video Driver Update 2 marks the division of video
support and support for other types of devices in driver updates. This
document provides information about x86 video devices that are now
supported on the Solaris 2.5 computing environment. Refer to Solaris
2.5 x86 Driver Update Guide (supplied with Solaris 2.5 x86 Driver
Update) for information about driver updates providing support for:
SCSI host bus adapters, IDE interface, network adapters, PC Card
(PCMCIA devices), audio, SCSI tape devices, and serial ports.

Typically, as new drivers become available, they will be bundled with
releases on separate Video Driver Update diskettes.  You can use the
Video Driver Update diskettes to update your installed Solaris 2.5
system with new video drivers.

Note - Video Driver Updates are cumulative distributions. The "New
Video Support" section in Chapter 1 describes what's been added since
the last Driver Update, and the "Video Driver Update Contents" section
in Chapter 2 provides a complete list of what will be installed. It is
only necessary to install the current Video Driver Update to get the
support described in this document.

Before You Read This Book

This document contains additional device configuration information for
newly supported hardware. The importance of properly configuring
hardware prior to installing Solaris is discussed in x86 Device
Configuration Guide. This document assumes you have fully read and
understood that guide.

Note - Appendix A, "Device Reference Pages," in Solaris 2.5 x86 Driver
Update Guide is an addendum to x86 Device Configuration Guide guide.

Likewise, the installation instructions in this Video Driver Update
supplement the instructions in x86: Installing Solaris Software.

How This Book Is Organized

A description of the contents of the Video Driver Update diskettes is
followed by installation instructions for the new drivers, and known
problems and bugs affecting this release.

Modified Video Driver Update Distribution and Installation 
Instructions 

The Solaris 2.5 x86 Video Driver Update file image distributed online is a 
compressed cpio file, instead of a diskette image. Consequently, installation 
instructions depend on whether you obtained the Video Driver Update on 
diskette or from online sources. If you are installing from diskette, a few more 
steps are required. See Chapter 2, "Solaris 2.5 x86 Video Driver Update 2," for 
instructions.

Video Driver Update Diskette

The contents of this diskette are discussed in Chapter 2, "Solaris 2.5 x86 Video 
Driver Update 2."

For a complete list of the known problems that are fixed in this Video Driver 
Update, see the README files that get installed in the patch directories 
/var/sadm/patch/<patch number>, where <patch number> is one of the 
following for Solaris 2.5 x86 Video Driver Update 2: 102986-02, 102988-02,

      "Trio64 (2MB)" when configuring the Solaris window system.

(*4)  Used on Compaq QVision 1280/E Graphics Controller and in 
      Compaq Deskpro 590.

(*5)  Cards with either IBM526 or STG3026 RAMDACs are also supported.

"--"  in the Bus column indicates a video controller model that is used on 
      video display adapters and motherboards.



While this table includes the resolution and color depth capabilities of each 
adapter, it is important to note that the resolution and color depth you select 
are also dependent on the capabilities of your monitor and the amount of 
video memory on the card. See x86 Device Configuration Guide for more 
information.

Caution! - Even though many notebook computers are capable of supporting 
external monitors at a resolution higher than 640x480, you should not change 
the default video resolution on a notebook computer to be anything other than 
what the internal monitor can support. Higher resolution video modes do not 
work on the integrated LCD screen; if you happen to start up the window 
system without an external monitor, you may not be able to see anything on 
the LCD screen. In some cases, this may even damage your LCD screen. See 
"Configuring Secondary Displays" later in this chapter.

Video Driver Update Release Notes

o Support for NEC 5FGe and NEC 6FGp monitors has been added.

o Video adapters based on the Cirrus Logic 5424 chipset with 512-Kbyte 
DRAM may not perform well in 800x600x256 mode under the Solaris 
OpenWindows(TM) environment, particularly if the selected monitor refresh 
rate is 60 Hz or higher. This is a hardware limitation. To obtain the best 
performance in 800x600x256 mode, choose the "Multifrequency-38kHz" 
monitor type when configuring the window system.

o If your video adapter contains the S3 Vision 764 or 765 chips, but is not in 
the list of supported adapters, it may work with one of the "S3 Trio64" or 
"S3 Trio64V+" entries listed by the kdmconfig program.

o If your video adapter contains the S3 Vision 864 chip, but is not in the list of supported adapters, it may work with one of the "S3 Vision864" entries 
listed by the kdmconfig program.

o If your video adapter contains the S3 Vision 864 video chip with S3 SDAC, 
but is not in the list of supported adapters, it may work with one of the 
"S3 Vision864 with S3 SDAC" entries listed by the kdmconfig program.

o If your video adapter contains the Trident TVGA 9000i chip, it may work 
with the "Trident TVGA9000i(512k)" entry listed by the kdmconfig 
program.

o This Video Driver Update also includes software fixes to some known 
problems. For a list of the known problems that are fixed in this Video 
Driver Update, see the README files that get installed in the patch 
directories /var/sadm/patch/<patch number>, where <patch number> is 
one of the following for Video Driver Update: 102986-02, 102988-02, 
102989-02, 102991-02, 102993-02, 102995-02, 102996-02, 103000-02.

Known Problems

Caution! - (1161494) Under the Solaris operating environment, the Diamond 
Viper video card based on the P9000 chipset is not compatible with a 
motherboard that has a Symphony chipset. This combination may cause the 
system to panic or reboot. If the Symphony chipset is present on the 
motherboard, do not use the Diamond Viper video card.

Note - The VLB version of the Diamond Viper SE adapter is not supported in 
this release.

o The VLB versions of the Diamond Viper and Diamond Viper Pro adapters 
do not work on some systems that have both PCI and VESA local bus 
support on the motherboard. The OpenWindows software will fail with an 
error message when you attempt to start it. The Solaris software expects a 
PCI version of the Diamond Viper boards if the system supports PCI.

Workaround: Use a PCI version of the Diamond Viper adapters on those 
systems that support both bus types. 

o (1192967) Due to hardware conflicts on some VESA local bus (VLB) systems, 
the Diamond Viper Pro VLB card may not function when configured at the 
default memory address (0xa0000000). If your system appears hung with a 
blank screen after starting the OpenWindows software, you will need to do 
the following:

a.  Reboot your system.

b.  Run the kdmconfig program. Choose a different memory address from 
the Memory Address screen. There are three possible choices: 
0x20000000, 0x80000000, 0xa0000000.

c.  Restart the OpenWindows software.

Follow these steps for each address until your system works correctly.

o (1227745) When using the Diamond Viper Pro in 24-bit mode, window 
borders get corrupted if the left side of an icon is dragged over the window.

o (1231973) When using the Diamond Viper Pro PCI with 4 Mbytes of video 
memory in 8-bit mode with 1280x1024 resolution and 80-kHz refresh rate, 
OpenWindows displays out of sync, making it unusable.

Workaround: Use 76- or 85-kHz refresh rates. 

o (1200858) The Diamond Viper SE adapter will not run with a refresh rate 
above 75 kHz in 1280x1024 resolution. (See the manufacturer's manual to 
verify the maximum horizontal sync rates.) In the current release, however, 
it also does not work with a refresh rate of 56 kHz in 1280x1024 resolution.

Workaround: Use a refresh rate of 64 kHz with 1280x1024 resolution.

o (1210745) The Matrox MGA Impression (VLB) video card does not support 
1600x1200 resolution in the current release.

o (1211083) Iconifying and deiconifying windows sometimes leaves extended 
lines on the screen when a Number Nine Imagine 128 video card is installed.

Workaround: Refresh the screen when this happens.

o (1179339) The ATI Graphics Ultra Pro VLB video card with a Mach32 
graphics chip, a TI68875 BFN RAMDAC, and 2 Mbytes of DRAM may not 
work properly if the "ATI Graphic Ultra Pro (2MB)" entry is selected when 
configuring the window system. Vertical bars get displayed on the screen.

Workaround: If you have this version of the card, choose the "ATI Graphic 
Ultra Pro (1MB)" entry when configuring the window system, but note that 
you will not be able to use a resolution of 1280x1024. Note also that the ATI 
Graphics Ultra Pro VLB video card with VRAM does not have this problem.

o (1179340) Using the Intel(R) Professional GX High Resolution system in 
1280x1024 with 256 colors mode and an 80-kHz monitor causes problems 
when returning to text mode after exiting the OpenWindows environment. 
The foreground color is set to purple; the background color is set to blue.

Workaround: Select either a different resolution or a different monitor 
frequency when configuring the window system.

o (1178899) On systems with video cards that use a hardware cursor, only one 
icon is shown when selecting multiple icons to drag and drop. This problem 
may be seen on video cards that contain the following chipsets: Imagine128, 
S3 864, S3 964, ATI Mach64, ATI Mach32, Matrox MGA-1, and Matrox 
MGA-2. Even though the multiple icons are not shown while being dragged 
and dropped, they are being selected and will be copied correctly.

o (1176285) Programs that use the Solaris(TM) PEX(TM) extension may fail if a 
user's XGLHOME variable is set incorrectly. If the XGLHOME shell environment 
variable points to a nonexistent path (or one that doesn't contain the XGL(TM) 
runtime binaries), then any program that uses the Solaris PEX extension 
(including XGL programs on most display adapters) will cause the server to 
abort. 

Workaround: Be careful when setting XGLHOME prior to starting the 
OpenWindows environment. Prior to running the openwin command, make 
sure your XGLHOME environment variable is either not set or points to a 
valid path for the system you are using.

o Some versions of the Orchid Kelvin 64 VLB video card have memory 
addressing limitations that may cause problems if your system contains 
32 Mbytes or more of RAM. A newer revision of this board addresses these 
problems. Unfortunately, there is no distinction made between revisions of 
this card. If your system has 32 Mbytes or more of RAM and you observe 
symptoms such as a fuzzy display or random vertical lines in the 
OpenWindows environment, contact Orchid Technology to request a newer 
version of this card. 

o The Number Nine Imagine 128, the #9GXE64, and #9GXE64 Pro video cards 
do not support interlaced mode. Configuring the window system using a 
monitor type of "MultiFrequency-38kHz (up to 1024x768 interlaced)" or 
"MultiFrequency-56kHz (up to 1280x1024 interlaced)" will cause the 
window system to fail. 

Workaround: Use a monitor that can support 1024x768 or 1280x1024 in non-
interlaced mode.

o (1173773) After running xlock, there may be a white border around the 
screen on systems with video cards that use the Tseng Labs W32p chipset. 
This border disappears after the screen is unlocked. 

o (1200644) When using an LCD screen at a resolution of 800x600, in 256 color 
mode, sometimes the image in the upper left portion of the screen will 
expand to fill the entire screen.

Workaround: Use the keys Fn-LCD/CRT three times to adjust the size and 
position of the screen.

The following problems apply only to 24-bit depth color:

o (1173985) Icon Editor dies when saving a 24-bit image to a file.

o (1174561) The STB LIGHTSPEED VL video card used in 800x600 resolution, 
24-bit color mode, does not work properly with the Sony CPD 1604S 
monitor. 

Workaround: Do not use this particular monitor type at that resolution and 
color depth.

o Wabi(TM) will not run under 24-bit depth mode.

o The IslandPaint application does not work properly under 24-bit mode. All 
of the button icons on the left side of the window are either missing images 
or display incorrect ones.

Installing the Video Driver Update

The contents of the Video Driver Update diskette are installed as patches on 
your Solaris 2.5 system. To do this, you must already have Solaris 2.5  
Driver Update 2 installed and running on your x86 system. 

Note - When installing the Solaris 2.5 x86 software on a system that contains 
one of the newly supported video cards listed in Table 2-1, if you choose to 
configure the window system, your card will not be included yet in the list of 
supported display adapters. However, you can still use a graphics-based 
interface to the Solaris installation program by choosing the standard 16 
colors, 640x480 VGA. Alternatively, you can use a character-based interface 
by choosing not to configure the window system when asked.

After installing the Video Driver Update software, the installation script will 
give you the option of configuring the window system by running the 
kdmconfig program. If you choose to do this, you will be asked to configure 
your keyboard, mouse, and video card again; however, this time you will be 
able to select from a list that includes the newly supported video cards. 

1.  Become root.

Note - The Video Driver Update is released as a compressed cpio image file. 
Consequently, if you are installing from diskette, there are a few extra steps 
that need to be taken to retrieve the files. If you have obtained the Video Driver 
Update image file from online sources and you are not installing the Video 
Driver Update from diskettes, you can proceed directly to step 5.

2.  Insert the "Solaris 2.5 x86 Video Driver Update 2 Diskette" into drive 0.

Note - To see if Volume Management software is running, type:

ps -e | fgrep vold

For more information about managing diskettes and drives, see System 
Administration Guide, Volume I.

3.  Use cpio to copy files off the diskette, and run the installation script.

The following commands assume Volume Management is running on your 
system. If it isn't, volcheck should not be run and the device name of the 
diskette drive should be replaced with /dev/diskette0.

# mkdir /tmp/Drivers

# cd /tmp/Drivers

# volcheck

# cpio -iduBI /vol/dev/aliases/floppy0

cpio reports the number of blocks copied.

4.  Use zcat and cpio to copy the files from the compressed cpio image file, 
and run the install script.

The name of the compressed cpio image file is vdu?image.Z, where ? 
represents the Video Driver Update number.

# zcat vdu* | cpio -icudB

# ./installdu.sh

5.  Configure the window system.

After the Video Driver Update software has been installed, the installation 
script asks if you want to configure the window system. If you don't want to 
configure it at this time, you must run the following commands after the 
installation script ends and before you start the OpenWindows software:

# kdmconfig -u

# kdmconfig -cf

If you want to configure the window system at this time, the kdmconfig 
program will be started for you. The kdmconfig program will ask you to 
configure your keyboard, mouse, and display adapter. The list of display 
adapters will appear alphabetically by vendor. To quickly scroll through the 
list, type the first few letters of the vendor name. For example, type "Mi" to 
get to the "Micronics Mpower4 Plus" entry. Some of the names of display 
adapters on the list may be followed by the amount of video memory on the 
card. For example, "Diamond Stealth 64 (2MB)" indicates 2 Mbytes of 
memory on the Diamond Stealth 64 card. Be sure to select an entry that 
matches your configuration.

6.  If prompted for this information, select the Correct Screen Size, Color 
Depth, Resolution, and Monitor from the list displayed by kdmconfig.

Selecting "8" for color depth means your adapter is capable of 8-bit color 
(256 colors), whereas "24" means 24-bit color (2 to the 24th or 16,777,216 
colors). After choosing the monitor's screen size, color depth, and
resolution, you will be shown a list of supported monitors (unless you
have already chosen one of the Diamond Viper card entries). If you have
a multisync/multifrequency monitor, check the manufacturer's
documentation to find out the maximum horizontal synchronization rate
supported by the monitor. For example, if you have a ViewSonic 17
monitor, which has a maximum horizontal sync rate of 82 kHz, select
"MultiFrequency-80kHz (up to 1600x1200@60 Hz)" as the monitor type.

Note - In order to support 1152x900 or 1280x1024 resolution on the Intergraph 
TD-1 display adapter, you must select an interlaced monitor type when 
configuring the Solaris window system or it will not function properly. Choose 
"MultiFrequency-56kHz (up to 1280x1024 interlaced)" as the monitor type.

7.  Remove the diskette from drive 0.

8.  Clean up the temporary workspace.

# cd /

# rm -fr /tmp/Drivers

Installation of the Video Driver Update is complete, and you can now run the 
openwin command to start the window system. 

Configuring Secondary Displays

These instructions allow you to configure a secondary display for a notebook 
computer that has an external monitor, without changing the default video 
resolution. 

Caution! - Even though many notebook computers are capable of supporting 
external monitors at a resolution higher than 640x480, you should not change 
the default video resolution on a notebook computer to be anything other than 
what the internal monitor can support. Higher resolution video modes do not 
work on the integrated LCD screen; if you happen to start up the window 
system without an external monitor, you may not be able to see anything on 
the LCD screen. In some cases, this may even damage your LCD screen.

The configuration that will be installed will define display 0 as the internal 
monitor, and display 1 as the external monitor. The external monitor will be 
configured for 1024x768, 256 colors.

1.  Become root.

2.  Change to the /etc/openwin/server/etc directory:

# cd /etc/openwin/server/etc

3.  Copy the appropriate OpenWindows configuration file for your notebook 
to the file OWconfig.

o If you have a Toshiba 4900CT notebook computer, type: 

cp /usr/openwin/server/etc/OWconfig.4900ct OWconfig

o If you have an NEC Versa M75C, type:

cp /usr/openwin/server/etc/OWconfig.vm75c OWconfig

o If you have an NEC Versa M75HC, type:

cp /usr/openwin/server/etc/OWconfig.vm75hc OWconfig

Note - The OpenWindows configuration file that is being installed assumes 
you are using a built-in PS/2 style mouse. If you connect a PS/2 style mouse to 
the external mouse/keyboard port, you will need to perform a reconfiguration 
boot before bringing up the OpenWindows environment. Type 
touch /reconfigure 
reboot

4.  Exit from superuser status.

5.  Start the OpenWindows software, indicating which display to use.

o To use the internal display, type:

openwin -display :0

o To use the external display, type:

openwin -display :1
