Hi, Firstly, I am relatively new to OpenSolaris (have used RedHat Linux a few years back at university but not a huge amount, enough to do some coding but never got as far as, say, building my own drivers from source) so please excuse any stupid questions / comments.
I installed 2009.06 recently and got most things to run as I want them but my monitor won't display at the native resolution (1650 x 1080). According to some info (http://opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?messageID=372631) it's because OS 2009.06 uses the radeonhd 1.2.4 and ati 6.10.x driver and I need xf86-video-radeonhd 1.2.5 and ati 6.12.2 drivers. So, I find xf86-video-ati-6.12.2.tar.gz in http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-ati. I download it, I unzip and untar to a temporary directory. I believe the next step is to use autogen (I downloaded a bunch build tools using the package manager, including GNU automake). So, I go into the directory and type ./autogen.sh Lots of output follows: autoreconf: Entering directory `.' autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Gettext autoreconf: running: aclocal /usr/share/aclocal/audiofile.m4:12: warning: underquoted definition of AM_PATH_AUDIOFILE /usr/share/aclocal/audiofile.m4:12: run info '(automake)Extending aclocal' /usr/share/aclocal/audiofile.m4:12: or see http://sources.redhat.com/automake/automake.html#Extending-aclocal autoreconf: configure.ac: tracing autoreconf: running: libtoolize --copy /usr/share/aclocal/audiofile.m4:12: warning: underquoted definition of AM_PATH_AUDIOFILE /usr/share/aclocal/audiofile.m4:12: run info '(automake)Extending aclocal' /usr/share/aclocal/audiofile.m4:12: or see http://sources.redhat.com/automake/automake.html#Extending-aclocal autoreconf: running: /usr/bin/autoconf autoreconf: running: /usr/bin/autoheader autoreconf: running: automake --add-missing --copy --no-force configure.ac:33: installing `./missing' configure.ac:33: installing `./install-sh' src/Makefile.am: installing `./depcomp' autoreconf: Leaving directory `.' checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/ginstall -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... ./install-sh -c -d checking for gawk... gawk checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes checking whether to enable maintainer-specific portions of Makefiles... yes checking build system type... i386-pc-solaris2.11 checking host system type... i386-pc-solaris2.11 checking for style of include used by make...

Any help on this appreciated (anyone else managed to get a Radeon HD 4890 to work?). Apologies for the length of the post. Thanks, MP -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
