And so it is. And so it does. Ok, vesa booting worked for 129 so I did the update and it worked for 132 as well. So I tried mv xorg.conf and tried the normal i810 driver and it stopped, the same as with the Live CD. > file in the user's home directory (should be > /root/xorg.conf.new Nothing there > also print some explanations at the endm that it has > created > an xorg.conf.new file and how you can use that file.

HAL is also not started and attempts to bring it online fail. After upgrading to 132 and using vesa leaves a couple of new problems. The graphics refresh are nice and the desktop logon now acts more like a Linux box. E.g. it stays on the system background before switching to a custom background for a longer period of time. The other issues were that the Sun Beijing Desktop Teams builds of Firefox and Thunderbird result in core dumps and do not come all the way up whereas the one's in /usr work fine. I looked at the /var/log/X*.log for the i810 boot and it has a file lenghth of zero. I'm going to reopen the bug on bugzilla. Thanks, alan -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
