This is by design. "root" is setup to be a role rather than a user. The user jack and the user created during install are given admin privileges. This is using the RBAC features of OpenSolaris. > > Also where can I find video drivers for ATI graphics card ? The bundled X11 server has the default opensource ATI driver. However that driver can't give you 3D and sometimes even 2D acceleration on most modern ATI graphics cards. The support for accelerated ATI graphics is available via the radeonhd driver but that requires kernel components that went into Build 88. OpenSolaris 2008.5 is based on Build 86. Unlike Nvidia, ATI itself does not provide a native OpenSolaris driver. Regards, Moinak. > > Regards > Ajay Kumar > CA, IIITM-K > India.
