Thanks for your answers. I will try your suggestions when SPARC machine is
available.

To be clear, the original post was asking about framebuffers that are
compatible with Solaris/SPARC workstations; XVR-600 and other Sun
SPARC framebuffers in the XVR series are the only option there.
Cards from Nvidia, ATI, and other x64 manufacturers are not supported
in Solaris/SPARC
Chris pointed out that this is on Sparc, so no
nice nvidia/ati boards there, but I agree that
you could first try to tune your application
with the default pipeline - it may just perform
well enough.
There's some information about the pipeline
properties here:
I would first try out how well it does on the XVR600, I guess it should be good
enough for most purposes - maybe you don't even need the OpenGL pipeline. You
could also try to set pmoffscreen if you have to render many translucent
objects, or if you do a lot of antialiasing.
As far as I know
Hi,
Our project will be deployed on special consoles on a frigate. Consoles are Sun
Netra 240 Servers with XVR 600 Graphic cards. Since we have never tried our
application on such a configuration and we do not have the hardware yet (it is
difficult to obtain) we want to learn OpenGL pipeline
Yes, the OpenGL-based Java 2D pipeline works well on XVR-600 with JDK
6 and above. However, it will depend on your particular application
whether you see any performance benefit from the pipeline. (The
XVR-600, like most SPARC framebuffers, is not as capable as today's
modern GPUs from other
Thanks for your quick answer. This card is not produced any more and too
expensive but our customer (Turkish Navy) has a stock of this cards. Could you
recommend any other graphics card that works well with JDK 6 on Netra 240 and
Solaris 10? We had asked this question to Sun Turkey but they
