Solaris 8 on dell inspiron 7000 laptop

Hi gurus...
I need your help to install solaris 8 on my inspiron 7000 laptop.
I'm able to install until it wants to test the X window.
I tried all selection for the screen size and type but still gave me blank screen when I tested.
this notebook use ATI Rage3D LT-Pro which is I now is recognize by solaris since I could run the solaris with external monitor connected with my notebook.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Eric

What happens when you press Fn + whatever key it is to direct output to the external monitor? There could be a chance that the Solaris driver is autmatically trying to direct output to the external port. If so you may be able to override that.

  • Dell Inspiron 7000 - Dragon Assistant 3.0 Software Missing?

    I purchased a 15.6" Dell Inspiron 7000 Laptop on 1-10-15 and it was supposed to come wiht Dragon Assistant, Voice Recognition Software pre-installed.  It is NOT, however anywhere on this machine.  It is advertised as being on the Laptop - both in the store, and on bestbuy.com.  The following is the Laptop information:
    Model: I7547-3020SLV
    SKU: 8733845
     I do NOT wish to return this system because I have already spent hours setting it up and tranferring files from my old system.  Is there some download or a CD that you can send me?  Thank you!

    Hi danbon94,
    I’m sorry to hear that your Dell laptop doesn’t have the Dragon Assistant installed as it should have. We entrust the manufacturers to deliver their devices to us with all of the appropriate pre-installed software. I greatly appreciate you sharing this information with me in regards to your Dell laptop, as it is concerning if devices are not arriving with all of the software advertised.
    While the easiest way for us to correct this would be to process an exchange in hopes the new laptop would come with the software, I completely understand why you wouldn’t want to do that. In my experience, it can take some time to set up a new computer to your exact specifications and transfer any existing files from a previous computer.  Please know I’m sending you a private message to gather further information in regards to your purchase and to see what options we may have for you. You may check your private messages by logging into the forum and clicking on the envelope icon in the upper right-hand corner of the page.

  • HP 3210 printer to Dell Inspiron 7000 series laptop.

     Will HP3210 printer effectively connect to the Dell Inspiron 7000 series laptop?
    Older model printer works extremely well.  What portals/connections will be neede?
    Thanks!

    The Photosmart 3210 can connect either with a USB cable or a network cable.  If you have an available port on your router the network connection may be preferred.
    I have a similar setup, the printer is connected to my router with a LAN cable, I access the printer wirelessly from my notebook computer through the router.

  • Solaris 8 on Dell Inspiron 3500 ?

    Hi!
    Is there anyone who successfully installed Solaris 8 on a Dell Inspiron 3500 laptop? The problem is with the video card (NeoMagic) which is not automaticaly recognized by Solaris installer.
    Thanks for any advices,
    Claudiu

    I am trying to install on a Dell Latitude laptop. I cant get very far though. Please see below:
    I'm quite familiar with Solaris 8 and have done numerous installs
    including dual boot on x86, and jumpstarts on Ultras.
    I am trying to install x86 on a Dell laptop. No problems with setting up
    the bios, and telling it to boot into the Solaris install menu. (from 1
    of 2 cd)
    My problem is this:
    When I get to the language preference question, my keyboard mapping is
    shot. I've tried numlock off and on, and used 3 different keyboards.
    Laptop keyboard out of docking station, and two different keyboards
    while the Dell is docked.
    Funny thing is, the mapping is fine until the point where the install
    program wants language preferences entered. I tried various keys and the
    whole mapping of the keys on the board is off.
    As I mentioned, in the earlier phase of the install program, when it
    asks if you want Jumpstart, the mapping is fine. I did not have this
    problem on my x86 install on my tower, (same keyboard tested as bad on
    the Dell) and used the exact same cd's (1 of 2) that sun sent.
    So I tried to configure Jumpstart to get around the mapping. Booted the
    Dell bios to boot from the network using BOOTP, which is the core
    protocol that Jumpstart uses. No go. Used the procedure from the Sun
    Admin 2 class, it is proven to work on an Ultra environment. No go on
    x86 though.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks much,
    Sam

  • Dell Inspiron 7000 Windows 8 Dual Monitor Setup

    Dell Inspiron 7000 Windows 8
    DVI and HDMI video outputs.
    I want to connect two monitors. The Best Buy rep says use and DVI to VGA cable with splitter. However, I spoke to tech support reps here at work who set up and support computers and they said that may not work and if it does the displays may not extended but be mirrors of each other.. At work I use a higher end dell with the traditional docking station. The Dell Inspiron does not have that option. Using a cable is easier that purchasing what amounts to a usb hub that is called a USB 3.0 dual video docking station.

    Hi,
    I have the same issue here... I tried the adapter either for VGA or HDMI, but it still didn't work....Could you please let me know how to fix it? I used Dell before and everything was fine but only for this series... really waste me a lot of time to find an answer to fix it but didn't work....sigh..Thanks

  • Dell Inspiron 1300 laptop wont connect to router anymore

    Eveything was great untl I had to change the encryption code on the router, now I cant get the laptop to connect to the router anymore. Nothing was changed on the computer and the only thing that was changed on the router was the encryption code. The Dell laptop has a 1370 mini wireless card in it running windows XP, and I updated it last night to the latest driver. My Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop has no problem connecting to it. The wireless router is a WRT54GS. I have also started wireless zero configuration and checked the box to let windows control my wireless. And the box in properties that says "Enable IEEE 802.1authentication for this network" is not checked.
    Sometimes when I try to connect it, it will say connected when it isnt connected to anything. Other times when I try to connect it will connect to another wireless internet in the neighborhood that doesnt have any encryption. And then other times I get the message that says "windows was unable to find a certificate to log you on to the network". I got it to connect when I took the the encryption off the router but for some reason it doesnt want to connect with encryption on it. I am using WEP 64bit. I checked all the settings on both the laptops and the wireless settings are exactly the same. I dont understand why mine will connect and the other one wont.  Any ideas?

    You can try manually adding the network on your computer, Also change the SSID on the router if it is linksys(default).
    To add the network manually try the below mentioned settings.......
    Click on Start and go to the Control Panel and double click on Network Connections, right click on Wireless Network Connection disable it and then Re-enable it .
    Right click on Wireless Network Connection and click on Properties,Now on this window, click on the second tab Wireless Network and give a check mark on "Use windows to configure my wireless" and then remove all the network names present in the Preferred Networks Window. Then click on OK...
    Right click on the Wireless Network Connection again and click on View Available Wireless Networks and try to re-connect to your network...
    Now it will give you the opportunity to put the network/security key, make sure you enter the correct network key and confirm it...
    It will connect...
    That should resolve the issue for you.

  • HP ELite L2201x and Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop?

    Hi, I bought an HP Elite L2201x Monitor, and I want to connect it to my Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop. 
    I got a display port to HDMI port cable but my laptop doesn't recognize at all the HP monitor, it is like if it were not there!
    Any advice? I thought about using the port I use to conect to a proyector, but idk if that makes sense at all!
    Thanks for your help!!!

    >I got a display port to HDMI port cable but my laptop doesn't recognize at all the HP monitor, it is like if it were not there!
    display port and HDMI are two completely different solutions.
    Also a display port source can deliver hdmi signals (so this way the cable will work), a hdmi source often (always?) can't support dp signals.
    This is how I understand this FAQ:
    From http://www.displayport.org/faq/;
    Q: I am the owner of a new 27″ iMac, which I was planning to use as a high- resolution display for an HDMI equipped Blu-Ray player. I have purchased the DP-to-HDMI adaptor after being advised by Apple technical that it would function as an input, but having tried it, discovered that the device will only OUTPUT. My question is, why won’t the adaptor pass signal the other way, and what is the adaptor doing if it’s not powered, and it’s tiny, that it can’t do backwards?
    A: DisplayPort-to-HDMI adaptors and DisplayPort-to-DVI adapters are very simple and only operate one way. For instance, when a DP-to-HDMI adaptor is connected to a PC that supports DP++ (multimode) capability, the PC senses the presence of the adaptor and sends HDMI signals over the DisplayPort connector rather than DisplayPort signals. No signal conversion is performed by the HDM adaptor. HDMI signals are merely passed through. The unique DisplayPort adaptor capability enables the PC to connect to a variety of displays via the DisplayPort connector including HDMI, DVI, and VGA. VGA adaptors are more complex and perform active signal conversion from DisplayPort to VGA. These adaptors also operate only one way. Unfortunately, HDMI does not support conversion to other display formats as does DisplayPort.

  • I currently have a DELL Inspiron E1707 Laptop and I conne...

    I currently have a DELL Inspiron E1707 Laptop and I connect to the internet via my Linksys WRT54GS Wireless Router.  For the past 2 days I can connect to the internet but sites take forever to load or just don't load at all.  I went to Intel PRO/set Wireless Troubleshooter and the event viewer says:  CTA Plugin is not installed or supported.  I have googled this problem and still have not found a solution or where I can install the plugin.  I did find that this is somewhat common and has to do with the CISCO system/Linksys Router.  I hope one of your specialists has a solution to this problem.  Please get back to me regarding this issue.  Thank You!

    Change the wireless channel from 6 to 9 ...
    Also under advanced wireless settings you can change few more settings ....
    Change the Fragmentation

  • Dell Inspiron 7000 series dual monitor issue

    Today tried to connect Dell Inspiron 7437 to external monitor using HDMI cord; it did not work. I changed setting to external monitor only and now cannot get an image on laptop screen or external monitor when HDMI cord is connected. Tried to restart computer; still goes to blank screen as soon as I plug in HDMI.
    1. How to a return to default setting for laptop display so it's only set to laptop?
    2. Is it possible to connect inspiron 7000 to external monitor with hdmi?
    Thank you

    Hello,
    Yes, it is possible to connect the Inspiron 7000 series to an external monitor using an HDMI cable.  Normally you can control how the video is displayed by using the <FN>+<F8> key combination.  Normally your options are LCD only, duplicate display on the LCD & the external monitor, or just display on the external monitor (projector mode).  Try that key combination to see if you can toggle between the available displays.
    One thing you also might want to check to see is if that monitor is set to a resolution that your system cannot handle.  Here is a link to the product support pages for the Inspiron 7437, and you will find user manuals on the page that will help explain which resolutions your video card can handle.  You may need to set your monitor back to default settings (see your user manual for that monitor for details) and that should enable your system to send video to it.
    Let me know if any of this helps or if you have additional questions.

  • Windows update not working on new Dell Inspiron 7000 (7537)

    I currently have Windows 8 on my new dell inspiron (actually refurbished) 7000.  Only things I've done since getting the computer:  I removed McAfee and turned on Windows defender (which also won't update).  Windows update shows about 93 updates
    but when I hit install it says it is downloading by never moves past 0%.  I used the auto fix that Microsoft offers for windows update to no avail.  Not sure what to do now.

    Hi,
    I agree with Milos.
    I suggest you upload the Windowsupdate.log so that we can help you analyze the issue.
    By default, the Windows Update client records all transaction   information to the following log file:
    %windir%\Windowsupdate.log
    Meanwhile,please check the following services to ensure they are in a start state.
