I am having problems with Solaris 10 U1, and was advised to repost my question here...
I installed Solaris 10 U1 on my PC. During the install process, I select the devices I am using (monitor, graphics card, mouse etc.). During the install everything works beautifully. The screen resolution was correct (1280x1024, 24bit), even the mouse scroll wheel worked in the motif-based windows of the installer. The problem comes after I have installed, and start using the OS. The screen resolution is set to 2000 x somethingOrOther (which my monitor does not support), and I can only see part of the screen. This res is used for everything from the login screen to CDE, to JDS. The mouse scrollwheel doesn't work in CDE either (despite working during the install). If I change the resolution to the correct setting (1280x1024), or any other sensible resolution, the display is garbled, and unreadable. Either way my Solaris is unusable :( BTW my monitor is a Samsung 17" LCD (713N), and I have NVidia 6100 graphics (recognised as Generic VESA compatible NVidia). I need some advice, I really want this to work. originally posted here: http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?forumID=107&threadID=9237 This message posted from opensolaris.org
