Xorg or Xsun

hello,
is any difference in using Xorg or Xsun with SGD in terms of resources or whatever else?
also I can't run 'kiosk' or full size desktop on JDS/Solaris, what could be the trick?
thanks,
philip

someone guided that its a package not completly installed. so i tried to reinstall the package as following.
// mount cdrom
#devfsadm -C
#iostat -En
#mkdir -p /tmp/cdrom
#mount -F hsfs -o ro /dev/dsk/c2t0d0s2 /tmp/cdrom
// find my package to reinstall
#cd /tmp/cdrom/Solaris_10/Product
#find /tmp/cdrom/Solaris_10/Product -name 'SUNWxwnp*'
// reinstall now...
#pkgadd -d /tmp/cdrom/Solaris_10/Product/SUNWxwnpl -s /var/spool/pkg SUNWxwnpl
// failed... no luck...
------- package install error , i went to cdrom from my laptop where i have windows, i see the cd have correct files and size. ---------
now i dont have any extra idea to apply... i hope i explain good the problem , i am trying to fix..

I've been working on this for hours... Solaris works but mouse won't move

Edit: I should go ahead and say that I've looked at EVERY tutorial and guide and post I could find all over google, for literally hours. If you know how to fix this, I'm begging you to help me.
I have a Dell Dimension 8200, 256 MB RAM, Nvidia Geforce3 Ti 200 video card. The settings that appear when I press the "enter" button on the moniter say 640X480 with H.F.: 31.53 KHz and V.F.: 60.09 Hz.
For the keyboard and mouse:
Microsoft Wireless Multimedia Keyboard 1.1 ( Model 1014 ), Microsoft Standard Wireless Optical Mouse. Both of which wirelessly connect to the computer through the Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop Receiver 2.1, which is simply plugged into the computer into the first USB slot.
My keyboard and mouse came from the same box, so they should both work...but only one does. Both worked on Windows XP, without installing any extra drivers, so it is not a hardware issue.
I'm using Xorg. Xsun graphics won't work for me--they come up as green and black scattered text. I ran the xorgconfig and xorg.conf was automatically placed in /etc/X11/. So, I assume that was done correctly... I chose Auto for Mouse Detection, the default mouse driver /dev/mouse/, Generic English 104-key for the keyboard, no for 3-button-emulation, no for special settings, yes for card selection ( I chose #19 Nvidia, #350 Nvidia Geforce will not work. ), #3 for Moniter selection, 640x800 for all options, and 16 bit I believe for all options.
I then rebooted, and the GUI worked fine and the keyboard worked fine. I logged in and got to the desktop, where I was prompted with some windows. The mouse pointer graphic was on the screen, but I couldn't get the mouse to work. I moved the mouse ( hardware ) back and forth repeatedly, despite my efforts the pointer simply stayed at the center of the screen.
It's almost humorous, right before I can read the keyboard shortcuts for Solaris manual while navigating the subchapters with the tab button and selecting them with the enter button( it was on the first layer of the windows that popped up so I could see it without needing to click on it ), the Solaris Registration window pops up a minute or two afterwards blocking out the other windows. I can navigate with the tab button in this window as well, yet the enter key does not have the authority to hit the buttons. My only option is to use a mouse...but wait--the mouse does not move!
SO TO THE POINT! Why won't my mouse work?!
I am completely new to UNIX based systems, so Solaris is my first one. I'm used to Windows XP, so just to let you know -- when UNIX commands are mentioned, you're speaking in gibberish to me. If I need to edit any files, please clearly explain how to do so--if I need to use a UNIX text editor etc., and what-not. Because as of now, I can only edit the files with the console.
Oh great...now this is appearing when I reboot:
WARNING - The following files in / differ from the boot archive:
/etc/path_to_inst
cannot find: /etc/devices/mdi_ib_cache: No such file or directory
The recommended action is to reboot and select "Solaris failsafe"
option from the boot menu. Then follow prompts to update the boot archive.
To continue booting at your own risk, clear the service:
# svcadm clear system/boot-archive

What is going on?

Okay I fixed it on my own by reconfiguring Xorg with a new mouse.
If anyone else somehow encounters this problem in the future, it seems like there isn't a driver for the Microsoft Wireless Optical mouse. If there is one, it doesn't come with the basic installation. Though, the keyboard works fine. The new mouse I got was a PS/2 Optical three-button mouse. It's pretty much your generic computer mouse.

Screen Resolution problem in Solaris 10

I recently installed Solaris 10 in a DELL GX260 pc. After I've changed from Xorg to Xsun, I was able to go into X-window. However, when I tried to change the resolution in the Java desktop, it shows an error message:
The XServer does not support the XRandR extension. Runtime resolution changes to the display size are not available.
The size is supposed to be 1024x 768 however it only shows 640x480.
I've tried to use kdmconfig to set ressolution however it still appears as 640x480.
I've go thur several previuos message in this forum about changing the Xorgconfig however if I change back to Xorg the X-window could not start.
Really appreciate for any help, thanks!

Really appreciate for any help, thanks!I have a very similar issue, although I'm using XSun, and I'm on an old Gateway Solo 1450. Did you have any luck?

Solaris 10 x86 JDS login problem

Greetings,
After working flawlessly for a week or so, I suddenly am unable to log in to JDS. After I enter my login information, the screen goes blank, an hourglass icon appears, and then I am kicked back out to the dtlogin display. I can log in with CDE just fine.
This happens with root, my user account, and a brand new user account I just created. All the permissions on my home directory are fine (and I did a chown -R of everything, just to be safe). This happens both with Xorg and Xsun. I also tried rebuilding the font cache, as an earlier post on this forum had suggested that.
I originally had thought it might have been a patch problem, but I backed out of every JDS and X patch, and I still can't log in.
There are no error messages in the Xorg logs or any of the files in /var/adm or /var/log.
I'd greatly appreciate any help or pointers you all might have. Thanks muchly!

This is likely to be totally unrelated to your problem but I can't help wonder. And perhaps you may pick up something usefull to debug your problems...
I have seen this behaviour a few times on KDE. After carefully checking it turned out that some of its datafiles (in ~/.kde) were setup with the wrong permission bits thus making it impossible for me to read/write it (and automaticly overwrite). Now I can't help wonder if this isn't happening to you too, in some issues KDE and Gnome act quite alike.
A possible option to debug this would be to try and start the Java Desktop from the console. To this end you'd need to put the commands needed to start JDS in your ~/.xinitrc file after which you should be able to use 'startx' to see if it'll run. Make sure you use > and 2> to capture the logs it produces since that will likely help you to find the cause of your problems.

Solaris 10 5/08 x86 - Pseudocolor visual not available in xdpyinfo

Hello,
I am running Sol 10 5/08 x86 64-bit on a Dell Precision 690 wkstn with WinXP using VMware Workstation 6.0.4. I have a NVIDIA Quadro FX 3500 video card. I am not sure if this is really a VMware issue or one that can be solved using Solaris.
I need to run "Xnest -depth 8 -class Pseudocolor," but my video setup, using the Xorg server (Xsun not supported by VMware Tools), does not support Pseudocolor visuals. Here is my xdpyinfo:

Notice that only 4 TrueColor visuals are supported. Does anyone know how I can change my setup so that my Xserver supports a Pseudocolor visual? VMware Tools is very limited for Solaris, and it set up the Xserver for me.
Any help or advice anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks...

I installed the latest nvidia driver and ran nvidia-xconfig, which made a new xorg.conf file. Option "CIOverlay" is in the new file, which should enable Pseudocolor visuals. However, after rebooting with -- -r, Xorg won't start. Xerrors says:
No devices detected
Fatal server error:
no screens found
XIO: fatal IO error 146 (Connection refused) on X server ":0.0"

So Xorg can't find my video devices. This page: http://us.download.nvidia.com/solaris/173.14.09/README/appendix-c.html does show that the Quadro FX 3500 is suppoted (thank heavens).

There is a /dev/nvidia0 and it should be symlinked to /dev/fbs/nvidia0, but the link is broken. Can Solaris 10 use the installed Solaris NVIDIA drivers in a VMware workstation environment? The only way I can get Solaris to work is to use the vmware video driver, which does not support pseudocolor visuals.

1-Which server are u using? Xorg or Xsun?
2-did you try /usr/X11/bin/xorgcfg ?
3-did you try kdmconfig ?

Solaris on Gigabyte motherboard

Hi All!!
after futile trials to install solaris on my dell laptop i tried installing on my desktop-customer built
new HD
it all installed fine.....but my mouse acts weird...i cant click the right things in the right place....may be i need mouse drivers
but my solaris OS doesn't see that i have a optical drive in there...
how can i install mouse drivers
secondly- there are no audio drivvers as well
- there is no internet connection
- it totally skipped the step to ask me if i was using dhcp!!
please help
sriya

Hi,
1. For the sound problem. you have to download and install driver for your sound card. Search using your sound card or sound device name and solaris for the driver. you can also try the following sites if your requirement matches.
Solaris Audio Drivers 1.0
http://javashoplm.sun.com/ECom/docs/Welcome.jsp?StoreId=8&PartDetailId=Sol-audio-drivers1.0-x86-G-F&TransactionId=try
http://www.tools.de/opensource/solaris/audio/beta/
2. Mouse problem: I don't think that problem is for optical mouse. Because I use optical mouse smoothly.
It can be easily solved by configuring Xorg. Solaris uses 2 GUI system. Xsun and Xorg. Xsun is the default one. But Xorg comes with some extended features.
to configure Xorg go to terminal and type kdmconfig. Then the Xorg configaration starts. It asks you about your system, resolution, keyboard, mouse etc. Answer those questions properly and save and exit. After restart it works.
REMEMBER: after configuration and before reboot check if the keyboard is setup in US language by typing- gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf . then see in input device > core keyboard section.
if it is not "us", then edit and make the Option "XkbLayout" " "us"
I think it helps.

Solaris 10 Keyboard Selection

After a successful and smooth installation of Solaris 10 on my Gateway Pentium IV System.
My only problem is I cannot (don't know how to) configure the keyboard other than kdmconfig.
The only choice for keyboard is Generic US english (104).
I need to have the International keys available for typing in Brazilian Portuguese and English
I tried kdmconfig but no international Portuguese or Brazilian choices are available and they are not included on the Language CD.
How can I configure the correct keyboard layout?

Hi.
I have the same problem . I've tried configure my laptop whith kdmconfig either Xorg and Xsun but after reboot my keyboard and my touchpad mouse doesn't work . I've attached a usb mouse and it work fine but my keyboard still not work !
I have found a little work around :
by telnet disable dt login whit
# dtconfig -d
# reboot
Now the X server don't start
Login as root and start Java Desktop System with :
# gdm
Now you are asked for login .
Now my keyboard and mice work fine !!!
Please keep me up to date !!i have similar problem on a hp laptop. if i dont touch anything and let it boot, touchpad and kb won't response. if i press enter while it boot (line will scroll up) then everything works fine, weird. btw, i am running solaris express nv 55b on it.

After installation and first time boot, the F2 key won't work

It's all in the title, I just installed sol10u2 on my PC (mb: ASUS P5GV-MX, proc: Pentium IV 3GHz, keyb: ps2 some Windows compatible).
While installing it went OK, all keyboard buttons working, LCD 1280x1024 working, everything fine. After copying the files to HDD, I had to take out the DVD and reboot. That's OK.
After the system got through the POSTm checked the configs or something, the text screen appeared asking whether I want to use Xorg or Xsun server for my X. The problem is that when I press the F2 (continue) the screen is not repainted and it stays the same as before (every second line is shown, and every second line is blank - black), and none of the function or non function buttons work either. I can hear a beep as an error for pressing any key.
It would be nice to know how exactly should I have had to install Solaris to make it work. I mean I tried 2 times already, with the same results.
Thanks

Zapcat...
All you have to do in order to remedy this greyed out menu situation is to download the iWeb 1.1.1 update image directly from Apple here...
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/iweb111.html

I'm running Solaris Express 10 x86 4/05 on a Dell Optiplex GX260. Xorg refuses to give me a refresh rate higher than 60Hz. This is using the i810 driver but it also happens with the VESA driver. Here's my xorg.conf:
Section "Module"
# This loads the DBE extension module.

# initialisation of the XFree86-DGA extension within that module.

Thanks.

I upped the log verbosity on Xorg and checked the Xorg.0.log file. I found some interesting things.
First, I found this line:
(II) I810(0): Will use BIOS call 0x5f05 to set refresh rates for CRTs.
Later on, I found these:
(WW) I810(0): Extended BIOS function 0x5f05 not supported.
(II) I810(0): BIOS call 0x5f05 not supported, setting refresh with VBE 3 method.
(WW) I810(0): Set VBE Mode rejected this modeline.
Trying standard mode instead!
Presumably, "standard mode" is an eye-watering 60Hz.
This is on a Dell Optiplex GX260 with BIOS revision A09. The video chipset is an onboard Intel 82845 and the driver is Xorg's i810.
Everything works fine with Sun's X server. I get a nice 87Hz refresh at 1024x768. I'm surprised that Xorg can't set the refresh on this machine. It's listed as Test Suite Level 2 certified in the HCL. Unless somebody can tell me what I'm doing wrong here, I'm going to post this incompatibility as a comment on the HCL.

OpenSolaris xorg.conf help

Hi, I am running OpenSolaris build NV_22 on an athlon64 box
with ATI RS480 video on-board chipset (I think RS480 is also known as Radeon Express 200). Everything is working fine except I cannot quite get the right xorg.conf settings to fire up X. Installation was in X (CDE) so I know X works fine. But after installation, I could not get the right xorg.conf settings. I have the monitor settings as I get it from another box which has the settings. But I am not sure what are the proper settings for the graphics card section.
Is there anyone that is also using the same video chip set and got
X working? If so, can I take a look at your xorg.conf?
Thanks

Use Xsun until you get it figured out. There should be something there that covers it in the xfree86 stuff

Xinerama on solaris 10 using Xsun

One quick question that I cannot seem to find an adequate answer for by the 'man' or through google. How do I make changes to the /etc/dt/config/Xservers file stick? After a reboot the file is reset.
" BEST TO NOT EDIT /usr/dt/config/Xservers directly.
# /usr/dt/config/Xservers is a factory-default file and will
# be unconditionally overwritten upon subsequent installation.
# Before making changes to the file, should copy it to the configuration
# directory, /etc/dt/config."
does not clear it up.
Also, I fought forever trying to get the Xserver entry to work properly with Xinerama so I figured I would put that in here so others in my boat may not have the same problem.
For Xinerama on a solaris 10 sparc system (using two elite3d m6s on a SB1000) put this beast in the /etc/dt/config/Xservers file (all one line). Modify top bottom left right as needed and point the /dev/fbs/afbX statements to the actual cards in your machine. something like /dev/fb0 and /dev/fb1 should work. That :0 before the +xinerama statement appears to be a show stopper if it is missing.
:0 Local local_uid@console root /usr/openwin/bin/X :0 -nobanner +xinerama -dev /dev/fbs/afb0 top defdepth 24 defclass TrueColor -dev /dev/fbs/afb1 bottom defdepth 24 defclass TrueColor

Yes, I came across that. All i have to say is thank god it had no answers for me. What a complicated nightmare. It is easy to find the answers for Xorg and X86, but for some reason Xsun and sparc is a little more hidden (well I guess we all know why). It is also hidden by so many irrelevant google hits that it is a lesson in frustration.

Force Xsun via jumpstart (Solaris 10 X86)

Hi all:
We have a SF250 Solaris 9 server, serving as solaris 10 X86 jumpstart server....
Or fail is that no matter how we make the sysidcfg file for our clients... after the installation the kdmconfig programs ask about Xsun or Xorg Xserver setup..
We have deal to make the Xsun video config...but stills asks about the Xserver.. does anybody know to ged rid of this question!!?
Thanks a lot!

I have had some sucess with the kdmconfig this updates the /etc/openwin/server/etc/OWconfig file so you know that your are using the same vidio and mouse card and monitors , one could then create templates and copy then into a post install script ot update the sysidcfg
i.e: taken from the OWconfig to apply for your situation sysidcfg in your jumpstart profile:
keyboard=ATKBD {layout=US-English}
pointer=MS-S
terminal=xterm
display=VESA {size=17}
there is some interaction under Solaris 10x86 with /etc/X11 for Xorg instead of Xsun X11 display.

Drawing for text and string fails using X server(xsun) xlib

Hi all,
I have sparc system and Iam using xsun on solaris 10 and ps -ef | grep
-i xsun gives this:
/usr/openwin/bin/Xsun :0 nkeyboard nmouse -dev vfb -dev vfb screen 0
1028x102
Now I am trying to use XDrawString and XDrawText for simple one
character drawing but to no avail as these calls don't generate
anything. All line generation and bitmap are rendered correctly on the
virtual frame buffer to generate a tiff file.
The same set of calls are working great on sun 2.6.
What can be the problem? I can't seem to find any solution to that?
////////////////////// These calls fail completely returnig
0 ////////////////////////////////////
CR_CHAR Temp[2];
Temp[1] = 0;
Temp[0] = textString;
int rt = XDrawString(_CRDisplay, *pagePixmap, CRGC, xPos, yPos, Temp,
1);
XTextItem item;
item.chars = Temp;
item.nchars = 1;
item.delta = 0;
item.font = 0;
int rt = XDrawText(_CRDisplay, *pagePixmap, CRGC, xPos, yPos, &item,
1);

Now I can login as root in single-user level.
I installed NVIDIA-Solaris-x86-169.12.run driver file successfully.
I used the /usr/X11/bin/xorgconfig command to create a basic xorg.conf
file. After reboot it locked up when I tried to start the graphics login.
From what I have read I need to use kdmconfig to change from Xsun
server to Xorg server but when I try to run the command kdmconfig I
get the message kdmconfig not found.
New Questions:
1. Where is kdmconfig located and how do I start kdmconfig?
2. Is there some other method to change from Xsun server to Xorg server?
3. In single-user level what command do I use to startx?
Thanks in advance,
Ken

Xorg or Xsun
