Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] NVIDIA GeForce 6200 LE GPU not supported on hipster

Hi all in this thread, without having much specific NVidia (closed or open-src driver) experience IMO the following approach should be doable: * all the different kernel drivers co-existing at the same time under different names (such as with corresponding suffixes) aliased to their

Gary, Use the Nvidia 304.x driver series. We used this driver with the current oi_151a by default. Latest: 304.132 OI_Hipster is based on Nvidia 340.x driver series (Geforce 8-series and higher). You can uninstall the default driver and use the Nvidia 304.x driver. ~ Ken On Thursday,

I just installed hipster on an older computer from an OI-hipster-gui-20160421.iso DVD. It seems to be working nicely. Even my HP laser printer is supported and working. Something's wrong with my monitor, though. It's called Unknown, with a resolution of 1024x768. When I looked at the X server

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Hipster distro contents confusion

I could try, but I'm currently heavily engaged in live sound recording, which is heavy work at the best of times. Once I get a hipster iso installed I could possibly write about whatever I learned from that, since that would be win-win. And any other similar experience. Beyond that kind of

Hi, I wouldn't consider OpenIndiana beta or alpha. There are people outvthere using it for serious stuff. Back in the days, it had a lot of users on servers, esp. storages and servers. As things went, some people migrated to OmniOS/SmartOS or even Linux with ZoL or FreeBSD. illumos has very

Please NO! Don't think I'm confused! I just want to know a couple more details about how to use the isos! The hipster rolling release seems a really great idea, and OpenIndiana was always a beta or even alpha! Hans J. Albertsson From my Nexus 5 Den 28 sep. 2016 18:00 skrev "Private openbabel"
