Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] IO_b148 on an ATI HD 5770: Xorg failure / black screen

I have tried using various configurations ranging from the system's automatic setup (i.e. no xorg.conf) to using various custom made xorg.conf files where I tried enforcing different drivers such as the VESA driver and different screen resolutions. None of these attempts has managed to produce

Hi Ed, I validated the ATI Radeon HD 4870 card on OpenSolaris a while ago. The driver of choice is now the 'radeon' driver which is compatible with the ATI Radeon HD 5970 card and the ATI Radeon 5*** series. The radeonHD driver is consider defunct so use the newer radeon 6.13.1 or higher

Ken, Thanks for these clarifications re Radeon, btw... So, in an abundance of over-clarification: For my HD 3870, I've been resigned to using the vesa driver so far with this card; is this still the state of play? I do understand from others here that I shouldn't expect any 3D

Hi Lou, As for Solaris/OpenSolaris-based distros - like OI_148, consider current Xorg radeon driver support as 2D only. Official support for 'advanced' 3D functionality on OpenSolaris-based distros is in use of the Nvidia commercial driver and GPUs. Intel GPUs also are still supported for 3D

Chris, The intel 2.6.3 driver is a part of the Xnv driver packaging (so in the default OI_148 packaging). Some people have reported issues with the current intel driver in OI_147 - possibly OI_148 as well. The intel driver performance is good enough for basic 3D functionality for business
