Solaris 10 Support for Gigabyte GA-MA78G-DS3H Motherboard

Dear sirs,
I have been trying to get Solaris 10 to run properly on a Gigabyte GA-MA78G-DS3H Motherboard.
The Solaris 10 operating system installed ok, but I have no network support. This is due to the standard and update drivers not working for this motherboard. I also cannot get video or audio subsystems to work.
I know this is due to Solaris 10 not recognising this motherboard, but my question is: Will Solaris 10 be supproting this motherboard in the future and doea anybody know if there are any Linux drivers which may work?
This is a link to the motherboard specs:
http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/Motherboard/Products_Spec.aspx?ClassValue=Motherboard&ProductID=2800&
ProductName=GA-MA78G-DS3H
Any help you may be able to give me would be most appreciated.

You can try this detection tool to see if Solaris 10 is/is not supporting your motherboard:

I doubt that Solaris 10 will be supporting more hardware/motherboard.
Have you tried Opensolaris? Opensolaris supportes more hardware than Solaris 10.

Ivy Bridge Support for 610-1130f (H67 - WJ1 Motherboard)

Intel H67 chipset supports Ivy Bridge but requires a BIOS update.
Does HP plan to release a bios update?
Is there anything we can do to get them to offer an update?
I really wish HP would support it.
I've love this machine even more with a new Ivy Bridge CPU and HD 4000 graphics.
Has anyone tried installing a processor to see what happens?

Hi,
Some third parties have released bios updates to support the Ivy Bridge product. A lot of regession testing needs to be done on the older motherboards. I would suspect that HP will release new models of the TouchSmart with Ivy Bridge support.
The Intel 2600 is a viable upgrade for your TouchSmart.

Support for AVM ISDN PCMCIA Card in Solaris 10 ?

Hi all,
I would like to install Solaris 10 on my Toshiba Tecra S1 notebook. Today I use an ISDN-Card (AVM FritzCard, PCMCIA) for dial-up connections under Windows XP. Are there any drivers for ISDN and/or PCMCIA-Cards in Solaris10? Does anyone have any experiences with this issue?
Every hint would be appreciated.
Thanks a lot.
Kindly Regard,
Holger

Hello.
There only very poor support for ISDN cards in Solaris. As far as I know only the on-board ISDN card of one of the SparcStation computers is supported (this card is available as S-Bus card for other SparcStation computers).
I think there is no support for any ISDN card that can be attached to an x86 computer.
I wrote a driver for USB based ISDN modems that are based on the Winbond 6694 chip myself due to this lack of ISDN support. I tested it under Solaris 9/Sparc.

Also I need ndiswrapper support for solaris 10

I have a linksys -G type router and my computer uses a Linksys Wireless-G PCI Adapter with SpeedBooster
which works in Linux like mandrake , debian systems like knoppix and kanotix but their are some buggy like debian also that don't let me change the essid in debian but most linux works with the drivers for my card which are
04/13/2004 10:01 AM 7,870 BCM43XX.CAT
03/31/2004 08:44 AM 11,960 BCMWL5.INF
02/19/2004 11:51 AM 300,928 BCMWL5.SYS
normally you install the drivers with ndiswrapper -i BCMWL5.INF then use -m to add it too the model loader program in linux which adds wlan0 to ifconfig and iwconfig programs
which also ndiswrapper requires the source code of the kernel to install the ndiswrapper right , it req. it too compile the drivers, and using the linux gui programs to setup essid and key wep info
also I use a script in kanotix to use /etc/network/interfaces to load the info on bootup etc.. to get my wireless network card up in linux.
also how the support for soundblaster sound cards in solaris 10, I have not fingured out if theirs sound yet. freebsd 5.4 seemed to be missing the sound support
one more thing in bootup of the install program for Solaris 10 my geforce 6800 card detected right but my tv output was all wrong in since the picture , was only on the monitor and tv had stange graphics on it which did not look right I hope nvidia drivers fix this problem , Is their any different command needed for clone mode in Solaris 10 then free86 nd xorg scripts use?

I got the solutiion from Canon Customer Serivce, temporary until the 10.10 download is released. It works:
"You can download the latest software updates at this address:
http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/professional/professional_cameras/eos_digital_slr_cameras/eos_...
Please select "OS X Mavericks v10.9" using the drop-down menu on the page. You have to pick the previous version of Mac OS, because the options for OS X 10.10 Yosemite have not yet been populated. I sincerely apologize for any confusion this may cause. After selecting OS X 10.9, please click on the red triangle next to the word "Software" to see the software updates available for your computer.

I never did find the drop-down menu, but I went into the site map and found what I needed.

Support for 8-bit pseudocolor visuals on Solaris 10 u8 Virtualbox guest

Hello,
I am running Solaris 10 u8 x86 as a Virtualbox (3.0.8) guest on a WinXP host with a NVIDIA Quadro FX 3500 vcard. I use JDS for the Solaris guest, and only 24-bit truecolor visuals are available for the desktop. I desperately need to run Xnest in 8-bit pseudocolor mode for an application. The video driver supplied with the Vbox Solaris guest additions has limited capability, and I think that until that driver is upgraded, I am out of luck. Does anyone have any different thoughts about that?
Is there a way to edit xorg.conf to get support for 8-bit pseudocolor overlay graphics? Wouldchanging the video driver in that file from vboxvideo to either VGA or VESA help? Any advice from an X expert would be GREATLY appreciated.
I've also tried to use svcadm to get the guest to open in 8-bit mode (default depth), but I think that the Vbox video driver (standard and VESA) only support 16- and 32-bit color modes. Is there some other way to get JDS or CDE in the guest to run in 8-bit color?
Thanks.....

Regarding expense, I was referring to the dual-headed card you suggested, not Xming.ah. my bad. Though most cards nowadays have dual outputs.
Here is a Vbox report documenting the whole situation, including Sun's replies regarding DirectColor:
http://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/4557
it looks like you guys were talking past each other.
>
Note my outputs of xdpyinfo in there: no Pseudocolor visuals in 24-bit mode in the guest (the cause of my problem). My host NVIDIA card has dual DVI outputs, and I have two monitors; are you saying that I set one monitor in Windows to run in 8-bit, and then run Xming on that monitor, and then set up a remote display for my guest, and try and get the guest to display to that remote display? If so, that could be worth a try. If not, maybe I did not fully understand the idea from your first post. I'd rather not have to go out and buy a new dual-headed card unless absolutely necessary.The problem you have is that virtualbox needs a 8 bit display somewhere to send the output to. Send your end display is a windows display in 24 bit mode, it's a lose since windows won't (at least the last time I looked) allow an 8 bit window in a 24 bit desktop. You could try running the main windows display in 8 bit mode and then starting virtual box, but odds of things going in your favor is not great.
Your new idea of running a vnc server in 8-bit mode within Solaris is very interesting indeed. I am unfamiliar with vnc. I saw this page:
http://www.softpanorama.org/Xwindows/VNC/vnc_on_solaris.shtml
It says that VNC comes with Solaris 10 u5, on the companion CD. I assume that u8 has it also.Somewhere along the line, sun began do bundle vnc as a part of solaris proper. It should be in /bin/vncserver.
I'll look into that. If you know of any other source of info on vnc, please let me know. Thank you VERY MUCH for the suggestion!!!Here's more or less what you should do:
1) login to your virtual solaris box
2) Start up a 8 bit vnc server by typing "vncserver -depth 8 :1"
3) After the setup questions (if I remember, you need to at least set a password), you can connect to the vncserver by
typing "vncviewer :1" and entring the password.
You could also get a windows VNC viewer and connect to the solaris vnc server. This may render faster, since you aren't running the vncviewer in a virtual session.
4) In the vnc viewer display (which may look funny because the default setup is usually a horriffic twm session), start your Xnest.
If you want cde, edit your .vnc/xstartup to look like:
#!/bin/sh
xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
dtterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
dtwm &
If you want jds, replace the dttterm/dtwm with gnome-panel.

Currently Solaris 10 is not supported in CSA 5 or the upcoming CSA 6. I am told that they will be adding Solaris 10 for CSA 6 but it is unknown as to when this will be released.

OpenSSH 4.4p1 packages with PAM support for Solaris 9, 10

As mentioned in a previous post* , I've compiled OpenSSH packages with PAM support for Solaris 9 and 10. They've since been updated to version 4.4p1, and are compiled against a static zlib (1.2.3) and OpenSSL (0.9.8c). You can find them here:
http://firewallworks.com/downloads/unsupported/Solaris-sparc/

* http://forum.sun.com/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=103378&tstart=105

Yes, zlib 1.2.3 is a requirement. In facts, zlib mentions a 2005 vulnerability fix but I found no matching patch in sunsolve. See
http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/JGEI-6E7RC3
I have been wandering whether to replace the official zlib. Linking statically is probably a better idea. Thanks

Solaris 10 Support for CSA

HBA support for solaris 10

Hi All
I need to know which HBA card will support solaris 10.we have sunfire 1280 server, brocade silkworm 12000 and hitachi 9980
Regards
RPS

I would beg to differ on this response. This is not a service call and the storage vendor is not responsible for making decisions on what the customer is allowed or not allowed to use.
EG, I have a Sun StorEdge 9990 (actually a HDS USP 1100 and not the 9990 Lightning series which is on the web site) and I made the call to put the Fibre Channel HBA's of my choice into my systems and I also chose the Cisco 9509 switches. Both HDS and Cisco put out documentation regarding compatibility of the HBA's.
So, I would suggest RPS check out the Brocade website or sales people and ask them if they recommend anything.
http://www.brocade.com/products/pdf/Fabric_Aware_Compatibility_Matrix-060521.pdf
states that the option X6768A is supported for Solaris 10.
Sun 9980 will work on most of the HBA's available in the system handbook.
The could be either the rebadged Qlobic or JNI HBA's. You could even use Emulux if you are that way inclined.
My systems are full of dual channel HBA's such as SG-XPCI2FC-QF2.
You should also be aware that the 1280 has only one 66 MHz PCI slot. You can upgrade the I/O boat to all 66 MHz slots if you are after good throughput. The upgrade will also give the opportunity to use the 4 Gb HBA if you can find a system to use them on.

SOLARIS OS Support for Advance Format Hard Drives

Hello,
I am fairly new to the UNIX Operating System so I'm hoping that someone can help me. Does Solaris support the new Advance Format hard drives (4k sector boundaries)? I cannot find any mention of the advance format drive in the Oracle literature. I believe, based on my recent reading that Open Source Solaris depends on ZFS to handle the support of the new 4kbyte sector size.
Thank you in advance for any information you can supply.

Does intel latest mother boareds support for the Solaries 10 OS

Hello Friends this is Mr.MA.Prakash from India. I want to know intel latest mother boards not supporting solaries 10. i tried installing on some intel mother board numbers.
please suggest, which intel latest mother board support for the solaries 10 operating system.
thanking u.
ma.prakash.

I've had a fun time last week setting up an Intel MFSYS25 blade server and MF5000SI quad-core Xeon blades with Solaris 10.
I only had Solaris 10u4 (8/07) on hand, and it only worked in 32-bit mode (boot with kernel/unix explicitly specified, as in Safe mode descriptor).
However adding patches (back from Jan 2008) helped, and the system works fine in 64-bit mode.
I believe it should work with Solaris 10u5 since it includes these patches and newer ones, but haven't checked.

Clustering support for BEA Weblogic Enterprise for Solaris/SUN HA

          Hi,
          Does BEA WLE 5.0.1/5.1 support SUN's SunCluster 2.X HA Framework for the Sun
          Enterprise set of Hardware?
          If not - do you plan to provide support for it in any future releases?

TRIM Support for AMD sb850

Hi all,
I've just bought an OCZ Octane 128GB SSD, formatted nad created an ext4 partition to host my root filesystem.
When I try to enable TRIM support for root filesystem (putting the discard in mount options) I get the following errors in dmesg
failed command: DATA SET MANAGEMENT
I've a Gigabyte GA-870A-UDE rev2 motherboard, the SSD is attached to one of the sata3 ports (managed by the SB850 Southbridge)
Any Ideas?
Thanks
Luca

Technically, TRIM is not supported by Lion for non-Apple-branded SSDs, but there is a work around for this.
The procedure described here worked beautifully for me: http://digitaldj.net/2011/07/21/trim-enabler-for-lion/

Why does MSI P4N have no support for Intel Preslor and Asus Nforce 4 does??

Well as you've probably guessed it im new to the forums (howdy all ). I currently own a MSI P4N diamond motherboard and quite frankly i most dissapointed with what has been called (by too many reviewers) a great board.
First off i see very little changes taking place with each bios update, of which does not seem to happen regularly at all. (lets face it no board is perfect especially the Nforce 4 range from MSI for Intel CPU's).
Secondly overclocking a Pentium D 830, which i may add should be capable of overclocking very well on an Intel Nforce board, can barley reach 3.4 Ghz (i know its mobo issue as the CPU is water cooled and overclocks to way beyond 3.7 on an 955X board).
Thirdly the North bridge fan was poorly stuck on my motherboard in that on installing my motherboard into my case it popped off like the lid of a pringles tub by a slight movement of my hand .
And last but least... why does the MSI P4N diamond motherboard not support Intels latest 65nm CPU's when ASUS's and Gigabyte's Nforce 4 motherboards work well with the Pentium D and the 65nm range of Intel CPU's. Upon also reading about the next gen of Intel CPU's the Conroe, the 975X motherboards will support the future CPU via a bios update and it has been said that the same is likely to happen for the Nforce 4 range... however once again due to the lack of support for the MSI P4N diamond by MSI i believe all of us owners of this pathetic (an over statement really but its going to be that way if MSI keeps this up) over hyped motherboard will get a simple NO in the CPU support table for the next gen range of CPU's.

Where did you get the information regarding the MSI P4N diamond's release date?
Are you in the United Kingdom? As it was released at the same time as the other Nforce 4 boards here (i was on the edge of my seat waiting for the Nforce boards to be released on overclockers.co.uk for sale) In the end though i bought my mothreboard in October, which is a good few weeks after release.
Is there any kind of SLI 32 on MSI's plans? this is what worries me as they have made a move in the 975X department but have not made any further developmentes in the Nforce range for Intel, which to the average joe kind of indicates loss of intrest in this field from the company.
I am overall pleased with my motherboard, when using a single core CPU, as overclocking was a sheer joy, but as soon as the dual core CPU went in the mothreboard behaves like a drunk man coming from a pub. I am aware that the Nforce 4 chipsets struggle with the dual core CPU's but surely Nvidia were informed by Intel about the dual core CPU's being released in the future.

Enum class not supported for switch() statement in 12.4 beta?

Hi fellow 12.4 beta testers,
It would appear "enum class" isn't supported for switch() statements in the 12.4 beta. This compiles fine under clang and g++. Will this be fixed for the final release? This currently causes compile errors for us, since __cplusplus >= 201103L evaluates to true, so our code uses "enum class" instead of plain "enum". It looks like the C++11 standard says it should be supported:

Many thanks,
Jonathan.
$ cat test.cpp

"test.cpp", line 11: Error: An integer constant expression is required for a case label.
5 Error(s) detected.

Thanks for reporting this problem! I have filed bug 18499900.
BTW, according to the C++11 standard, the code is actually not valid. Section 6.4.2, switch statement, says an implicit conversion to an integral type is required, which is not the case for for a scoped enum (one using the "class enum" syntax). This limitation was raised in the C++ Committee as an issue to be fixed, and the C++14 standard makes the code valid.
As a workaround, or to make the code conform to C++11, you can add casts to int for the enum variable and the enumerators.
