            本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛README for Solaris XFree86 Video Drivers and Porting Kit (Binary Edition)
            August 23, 2001

            1. What is the Binary Edition of SolarisTM XFree86TM Video Drivers and Porting Kit?

            The Binary Edition of the Porting Kit is the collected binary output that is derived from compiling the Source Edition of the Solaris XFree86 Video Drivers and Porting Kit. The Binary Edition of the Porting Kit includes all the available binary versions of the XFree86 video drivers, as well as the binary interface ddx module (the wrapper module), required library modules, and configuration files.

            The Source Edition of the Solaris XFree86 Video Drivers and Porting Kit is based on the freely redistributable open-source implementation of the X Window System published by The XFree86 Project, Inc. See http://www.xfree86.org/ for details.

            After you install the Binary Edition of the Porting Kit, you can use kdmconfig to select and use XFree86 video drivers just as you select and use the video drivers that Sun Microsystems provides with the Solaris operating environment. XFree86 video drivers appear at the end of the list of video drivers on the Video Device Selection screen in kdmconfig. XFree86 video drivers are prefixed with XF86- to distinguish them from the video drivers that Sun Microsystems provides.

            Note: Most XFree86 video drivers allow you to specify a 16-bit color depth (65,536 colors). Because this feature is not fully supported by the Solaris X Window System server, some applications might not display correctly.

            The Binary Edition of the Porting Kit includes a VESA mode video driver. If you use a system, such as a notebook computer, that includes an unsupported video chip, you can specify the VESA driver with the mode the video chip supports.

            The XFree86 vesa(4) man page contains information about the VESA video driver.

            2. What is included with the Binary Edition of the Porting Kit?

            Two packages: SUNWxf86u and SUNWxf86r. SUNWxf86u delivers binaries for the wrapper module, XFree86 video drivers, XFree86 library modules, as well as configuration files. All binaries are compiled from the MODIFIED and AUGMENTED XFree86 source code tree, version 4.0.3. SUNWxf86r creates the necessary links for referencing and configuring.

            Note: The XFree86 source code for the video drivers is not modified.

            Two patches: Solaris 109401-08 and 108653-27. They modify a system on which Solaris 8 Intel Platform Edition is installed by:

            Updating the Solaris X Window System server (Xsun) with a rebuilt version that uses XFree86 data structures, thus making the Solaris X Window System server compatible with XFree86 video driver modules. The rebuilt version of Xsun is "backwards compatible" with all other X Window System video drivers, libraries, and applications. The Solaris print server (Xprt) is likewise updated.

            Updating kdmconfig so that you can select and configure the XFree86 video drivers.

            Note: If you are using Solaris 8 Intel Platform Edition or Update 1 through Update 4 of Solaris 8 Intel Platform Edition, you must install patches 109401-08 and 108653-27. Otherwise, you do not need to install these patches.

            3. How do I install and run the Binary Edition of the Porting Kit?

            Ensure that you are running Solaris 8 Intel Platform Edition, an Update of the Solaris 8 Intel Platform Edition, or Solaris 9 Intel Platform Edition Beta. Ensure you have an additional space of 7 MB in the /usr partition.

            Become superuser.

            Copy the tar file that you downloaded into an empty directory that you choose.

            Examples: /tmp/xf86 or /home/molly/xf86

            Change to the directory into which you copied the tar file:

            # cd directory_path

            Ensure that gunzip is available on your system.

            You can install gunzip from the Solaris 8 Companion CD, or you can download it from one of the mirror sites that are listed at http://www.gnu.org/prep/ftp.html.

            Uncompress and untar the file:

            # gunzip tarfile.tar.gz
            # tar xvf tarfile.tar

            Have you already installed the Solaris version of the XFree86 X server on your system?

            If no, go to the next step.

            If yes, remove or rename directory /usr/X11R6, and remove or rename any XFree86 configuration file /etc/X11/XF86Config*.

            Add these two packages in this exact order (order is important!):

            # pkgadd -d`pwd` SUNWxf86u
            # pkgadd -d`pwd` SUNWxf86r

            Note: If you intend to use the Binary Edition of the Porting Kit on a system through a remotely mounted user file system, apply SUNWxf86u to that remotely mounted system, and then apply SUNWxf86r to your local system.

            Are you using Solaris 8, or Solaris 8 Update 1 through Solaris 8 Update 4?

            If no, go to the next step. You do not need these patches. The changes they provide are already integrated on your system.
            If yes, add the following patches:

            # patchadd 109401-10
            # patchadd 108653-30

            Note: You can download the latest versions of these patches from SunSolve.

            Run kdmconfig:

            # kdmconfig

            On the View and Edit Window System Configuration screen, select Change Video Device/Monitor.


            Press F2.

            The Video Device Selection screen is displayed.

            Type x

            XFree86 video drivers are displayed. The prefix "XF86-" identifies each XFree86 video driver.

            Select the XFree86 video driver that you want.

            If you cannot find the specific XFree86 video driver that you want, determine the name of the vendor of your video card, select the XFree86 video driver whose name matches the name of the vendor, and try that video driver to see if it works.

            If you cannot find a name that matches a vendor, or if you can but the XFree86 video driver that you selected does not work correctly, or if your video card is not supported by XFree86, version 4.0.3, select the XF86-VESA entry. The VESA video driver works with most graphics cards, although at a lower performance level.

            Continue to set up and configure your system with kdmconfig as you would with any video driver that Sun Microsystems provides with the Solaris operating environment.
            Notes:

            kdmconfig does not automatically select XFree86 drivers at this time. If you want to use an XFree86 video driver for a graphic card that the Solaris operating environment also supports, kdmconfig may detect it and prompt you with the Solaris version of the video driver. In this case you have to manually select the XFree86 video driver with the procedure given above.

            Regarding monitor selection: some Plug and Play monitor files may not be created correctly in some systems. If a problem arises with a Plug and Play monitor that you select, try a MultiFrequency monitor entry. In using a MultiFrequency monitor entry, the refresh rates that are obtained by XFree86 drivers are an approximation of what is offered in the associated VDA file. Generally speaking, the higher the frequency rate that you select, the higher the realized refresh rate will be.

            XFree86 video drivers produce substantially more output than the video drivers that Sun Microsystems provides with the Solaris operating environment. Output from the XFree86 video drivers is directed to stderr, as well as to file /var/log/XFree86.0.log. If you are using Common Desktop Environment (CDE), you can also view the output in /var/dt/Xerrors.

            XFree86 video drivers might offer more resolutions and color depths than are actually supported on a particular device, most often due to a lack of video memory. If you select a resolution that is not supported by your video device, the XFree86 video driver automatically selects the next lower resolution that is supported.

            A virtual screen feature is supported with most of the drivers. You can enable it in kdmconfig by selecting a Virtual Screen Resolution Selection entry that is larger than the Resolution/Colors Selection entry.

            4. What if I want to specify XFree86-specific video driver configuration information?

            In most cases, XFree86 video drivers do not require the XFree86 configuration file XF86Config. kdmconfig records all Solaris X Window System server display configuration information in /etc/openwin/server/etc/OWconfig. However, if you want to specify configuration information specifically for an XFree86 driver, you can create a supplementary XF86Config file and add the XFree86-specific configuration information to that file.

            Neither XF86Config nor the Section in which you want to specify configuration information must be complete. You do not need to include the Identifier field in any Section.

            The example of XF86Config shown below contains only one Section that instructs the ATI video driver not to use XFree86 acceleration code:

            Section "Device"
            Driver "ati"
            Option "NoAccel" "TRUE"
            EndSection

            In this example "NoAccel" is a Boolean option accepted by the ati driver for supported video cards.

            XF86Config takes precedence over OWconfig. If you specify configuration information for a feature in both files on a system, the configuration information you specify in XF86Config overrides the configuration information in OWconfig. In this example from XF86Config:

            Section "Monitor"
            HorizSync 31.5 - 82.0
            VertRefresh 40-150
            EndSection

            the horizontal and vertical frequencies override the frequencies that are obtained from the VDA file that is specified in the monitor field in OWconfig. (VDA files specify these frequencies.)

            The location for the supplementary XF86Config is the same as in regular XFree86 systems, i.e., /etc/X11, or other alternative paths described in XFree86 documentation.

            5. Where can I find XFree86 documentation?

            The status of each XFree86 version 4.0.3 video driver is described at http://www.xfree86.org/4.0.3/Status.html.

            All XFree86 drivers, including XFree86 video drivers, are described at http://www.xfree86.org/4.0.3/manindex4.html.

            Release notes for XFree86, version 4.0.3, are located at http://www.xfree86.org/4.0.3/RELNOTES4.html#9.

            XF86Config is described at http://www.xfree86.org/4.0.3/XF86Config.5.html.更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net

          • 好像是说支持8139系列，8029是10M网卡，solaris 并不支持8029，好像以前的一些专门讨论solaris的bbs讨论过这个问题。另外，我想问一下，8029可以设成NE2000兼容模式吗？solaris 8 (10/1)版是否支持8029？ -tinydog(tinydog); 2002-1-14 (#334167@0)
            • Hmm ... I thought 8029 is NE2000 compatible, isn't it? -dennis2(Dennis); 2002-1-14 (#334177@0)
            • OK, here's another link with some utilities. I've never tried myself so I don't know if it's going to work (some says it won't work with newer version of Solaris 8). -dennis2(Dennis); 2002-1-14 (#334205@0)
          • Dennis, 你说的连接没有intel version 下载 -expertune(专家 GUID); 2002-1-14 (#334173@0)
            • Which link you referred to that doesn't have intel version for what download? (My English is becoming really bad) -dennis2(Dennis); 2002-1-14 (#334191@0)
        • 绝对支持RTL8029，使用默认的NE2000 compatible就可以了，安装后可以用ifconfig -a 和ping 来测试一下。我都是这样用的。 -34561(四海一家); 2002-1-14 (#334243@0)
    • 装了OS再说，网卡可以换么！（如果你真想玩solaris）升阳公司网站应该也有详细更新的硬件支持表，不才的网站上有链接：hotunix.com -hsl(胡司令); 2002-1-14 (#334366@0)
