You can usually use the VESA driver to get you to the main screen overwise. You can't get 3D HW acceleration yet on the newer ATI cards under Solaris, but if you need this then I suggest the Nvidia GeForce 8400 GS and higher cards for faster 2D/3D HW acceleration. ~ Ken Mays ~ _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
