Hi folks,
Is anyone aware of a source who has drivers for the
ATI X1900 that will
work on Solaris 10?
Alternatively does anyone know of someone who has a
build plan
specifying an acceptable version of X11 or xorg, the
proper libraries, etc.,
and maybe a make procedure, to build a driver from
source code?
Does anyone know if the source code is even available
(I have been
searching but no joy). I am reading that one is
supposed to be available
in "July," and in speaking with ATI Tech. Support I
got a "wink, wink,
nudge, nudge"...July date as well. It's almost
August and I have seen
nothing from ATI yet.
Did I miss the release somewhere on their site?

--------------------------
The ATI v8.39.4 release of device drivers for Solaris
supporting the ATI X1900 series graphic cards???
See XiG (Xi Graphics) and Sun China for more info on
ATI graphics support.
ATI mentioned they support the open source developers
wanting to work on ATI video device drivers for
"alternate" OS platforms.
As an alternative, you should use Nvidia 3D graphic
solutions under Solaris x86/x64 for primary support
from Sun and Nvidia. From there, the Intel 3D graphics
solutions (currently, the Intel X3x00 series (which is
mainly the G965/GM965 chips)) are the next "supported"
choice. Matrox 3D graphic solutions are another. Then,
ATI 3D device drivers are supported by XiG graphics as
well as other alternate graphic solutions.
Hope that helps,
Ken Mays
