Video Card??? And what does the Configuration assistant do besides nothing

I installed the Solaris 8 on my desktop (Asus P3V133). I followed the installation instructions and I can not use the video Card (S3540 Stealth). Thus, I keep going to command line instalation mode. After installation, i get to CDE fine, however, it is in monochrome mode. how can i configure the the video card from CDE (Is it possible). I need help with this. I know how to use UNIX commands, however, never configured a system before.....Thanks

Hi,
What is the exact make and manufacturer of your video card? I am not sure if you have checked the Hardware Compatibility List yet for the supported hardware? If not take a look at the following: http://soldc.sun.com/support/drivers/hcl/8/401/files/c0112.htm#VIDEO-1
To change the settings of your video card your best bet would be to open up a terminal and type "kdmconfig" this will let you change various system settings (video card settings, mouse, keyboard...etc).
Hope This Helps

  • I was playing with my ipad settings (it's an older model) and noted in the advanced settings of Safari there was a place to view website databases.  When I clicked on this I saw websites.  How do these get there and what does the space amount mean?

    I was playing with my ipad settings and noted in he advanced settings of Safari there was a place to view "website databases".  When I selected this I saw a multitude of websites.
    Can anyone tell me how these get there?  Can a website be posted even if it was never went to?  What does the space amount mean?  For example, 1.5 kb...is this quite a bit?  Would it indicate someone has gone to a site multiple times?
    I share my ipad with my teenage daughter and I'm trying to find out if she's lying to me.  Obviously she's swearing that she has "no idea" how these got there and I'm trying to keep her safe (she's only 14).
    Thanks everyone.

    Think of your PC and the 'temporary internet folder' where it keeps cached copies of web pages or elements off a web page for 'quicker display the next time you visit'. That's pretty much what that folder is. 1.5K is tiny. Probably just a basic page with some text on it. (you might be confusing 1.5K with 1.5 megabyte....megabyte is large...it's roughly 1000 kilobytes, so the 1.5K is a tiny file)
    As far as I know, the only way info gets into that folder is if the browser has been to that site.
    if you have a concern there are browsers out there, McGruff is one i've seen recommended, that allow some degree of parental control and supervision. That or you could passcode lock the iPad or enable the restrictions to turn off some parts of the device to have some control.

  • Why does my iphone list our other devices in the bluetooth settings and what does the symbol at the bottom left hand corner of my lock screen mean?

    I just upgraded by iPhone 5s to ios 8.  Now I see my wife's IPhone 6 and our Ipad Air, which I also upgraded to IOS 8.  Why does it do that.  Also, when my phone is on the lock screen, and someone access safari on the ipad, I see a symbol at the bottom left corner of my phone screen.  What is that for?

    I am searching for answers to this as well. My daughter and I just started seeing what looks like a message bubble or a safari tab in the left corner Of the lock screen. We can also see something in the multitasking area.  If I am on safari, she sees the icon and can touch it. It takes her to the safari page I am looking at!  Also, I was typing in a group message, she touched the icon and it created a group message to those same people on her Phone.  can just anyone invade my privacy like this? Or is it just because we are linked somehow? Can I turn this off?

  • HP Media Center model numbers, what does the letters and numbers mean?

    Does anyone know what the model numbers of the HP Media Center Computers mean?  What does the 'm' at the beginning of the model number mean and what does the 'n' at the end mean?  How do they come up with the numbers and do they have any special significance? I have a HP Media Center m7658n.  I am looking for a motherboard to replace my original but the clostest one I can find is a HP PAVILION MEDIA CENTER M7480CH-A M7560A MOTHERBOARD.  Does the 7560 mean it's of lesser quality than the original and what is the difference between the 'a' and the 'n' at the end of the model number? 

    paullevy,
    Can I ask why you want a replacement board?
    The "m" means Media Center. The "n" denotes US and Canada.   In the 7560, the "a" is New Zealand.
    Your board is a Leucite,   Specs here   googled
    If you were to purchase the wrong board, your OEM Windows will cease to be 'activated'.

  • On my mini ipad, I cleared the cookies/histories in the safari setting.  But what does the advance-setting of the clearing the website data does?  What's that used for? Thank you!

    On my mini ipad, when I'm on the internet -- a few times I will see a blue small pop-up boxes telling me to allow down/load or add something like the bubble-splash game or something similar.  I jusr click ignore and it goes away.. I'm not sure why it's showing up lately.. I'm not sure if it's a virus or hacked in or a web brower matter..
    Should I go to the cookies/histories in the safari setting and have it cleared out?  Will that help resolve that?? 
    And what does the advance-setting of the clearing the website data does?  Sorry, I'm not familiar.. what's is that used for? Should I use that feature as well?? Thank you!

  • What is the best PC platform for LR 4? Especially optimum video card and amount of RAM?

    I have a high end i7 Windows 7 64bit PC with 12GB ram and 3TB disks - some in RAID 0, yet LR sliders lag and image scrolling/rendering can take up to 5 seconds, which makes editing hundreds of images in a session a pain.
    I am using an ATI Radeon video card and 27" monitor (2560x1440). I am prepared to buy any graphics card or even switch to an iMac, but want snappy LR performance.
    What is the recommended setup, please?

    Running LR in a window, approx 1400 x 900 made the sliders responsive and smooth!
    My system drive, which is also the LR Catalog is RAID 0 and is 250MB/sec access, which is as good as I can get with SSD
    I have an AT Radeon HD4800 video with latest driver
    I am running LR 4.1 RC2
    I have tried exiting all non-essential programs, including AV (with internet disconnected) - made no difference
    How much would I spend on a video card upgrade? Up to $750, however from what I am reading, LR doesn't use GPU acceleration so this is a waste of time and money.
    I am going to try my i-7 MacBook Pro, driving the 27" monitor, as a comparison, and report back.
    Thanks for all the responses so far. If you can add anything, please do so.
    Are there any configuration guidlines to make LR quicker, anywhere?
    My other band-aid is to manually transfer my project's raw files to the HDD, and then pre-view them with a fast browser, to weed out the rejects, before importing the rest into LR for editing and filing.
    I looked some good programs, for this:
    PhotoMechanic ($150)
    Seems to be the ultimate, and is both Mac and Windows, however price is difficult to justify.
    Breeze Browser Pro ($70)
    Fast but pricy compared to LR with all its features, but may be a goer, considering the time it saves.
    Fast Picture Viewer ($40 + $10 for code pack)
    Also very fast, but no tree folder view, which I find limiting. Price is getting better.
    XNView (Free)
    Good option. Bit slower than the paid apps, but still quite good.
    FastStone Image Vewer (Free)
    Comparable to XNView, just a tad slower, but seems that development has been suspended. I did see a 64bit codepac though, which I hadn't look ed at.
    There are too many more to list. Do any of you guys use anything like this?

  • MSI R48R4870-T2D1G-OC video card and the MSI K9A2 Platinum

    I recently bought the new video card for my system the R4870-T2D1G-OC.
    MSI stated that the power cord for the video is not a required, and the MSI board has its own connection for power to the video.
    When I tried installing the new card all I get is a series of beeps, as if there is not video card installed. BEfore I send it back and replace it with another I would like to verify that it does not require the power connector and that perhaps I need to do something special before I repalce the card.
    I have always used the MSI mainboards and never had a problem till now.

    Quote
    The system boots and I see the dos screen, then it goes black
    You mean you see the BIOS logo / POST screen, and then nothing? So the card is working then, no beeps?
    Quote
    I have replaced the power supply and loaded the drivers supplied by MSI. Now I have no video.
    Can you elaborate, as I don't know how you can install drivers if you're not getting any display? ???

  • Does GeForce 7350LE video card fan run all the time or at certain temperatures?

    I have a HP Pavilion m8147c  Media Center with AMD Atlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5600+ 2.80 GHz  3GB Ram and when running lately the monitor has started to go into sleep mode or something.Sometimes there is a warning that says something like no signal from DVI and one more but doesn't stay on long enough to read it all.I am running Vista Home Premium 32 bit.I had just installed a new game but pretty sure that has nothing to do with it as I used System Restore and backed up to a time before it was installed.At first it was only when playing games but now it happens with hardly anything running.This pc was bought in july 2007 and I have another desktop but I let my wife use one and I use the other.I opened the case and cleaned out all the dust but noticed when I started it up again the fan is not running on the video card.I don't know if it comes on at certain temps or runs all the time but I feel this is the problem.It has been on for about an hour and not come on at all.Any information will be appreciated.

    Hello captna, Usually when you purchase a new video card or other hardware device, the drivers that are included on the CD are an older version, sometimes as much as six months old. The chipset on any Brand of a given model would be either an Nvidia or an AMD ATI.
    The chipset is the main component of the video card that controls most of the operations of the video card.
    Since all the manufacturers of the Nvidia video cards use the chipset purchased from Nvidia, they are all the same chipset for any particular model. The different manufacturers can and do add or enable features for their particular cards, but the chipset is still the same.
    Since the drivers from the manufacturer would be an older version, and Nvidia releases new versions quite often, it would be best to use the Nvidia drivers, since they would have updated fixes and sometimes features, and added support for some newer cards.
    Your reference to the Memory Interface on both cards is 64 bit, has nothing to do with your version of the operating system. It just relates to the way, and speed of the interaction of the video card with the system (buss).
    The higher the number of the Memory Interface, the more data that can be moved in and out of the video card, which results in a faster video performance. This just becomes important when playing games for the most part.
    Using the system just for web surfing, emailing and some light gaming, would not have that much effect on the system.
    More important to the system would be the amount of video card onboard memory. The Gigabyte has 1 GB of onboard memory compared to your original video card with 128 MBs of memory. This additional memory would likely show a slight performance increase in any light gaming.
    You want see much, if any difference in the performance of your system, with the exception of perhaps the light gaming performance increase, with the new Gigabyte video card over the  GeForce 7350LE. You should not  experience the heat related issue as you had with the faulty fan on the  GeForce 7350LE.
    You can go into your personal settings on the Forum and select to not receive the email notices when someone responds to one of your post. Several years ago while on the Dell Community Forum, I would receive over a hundred emails every day until I disabled this feature.

  • What does the recovery disk assistant store?

    hello everyone, my questions:
    1.what does the recovery disk assistant store?
    2.is it necessary to use the recovery disk assistant often or is it enough to use once.
    thanks
    Fatih.

    As it said in the link I posted:
    has same capabilities as the built-in Lion Recovery: reinstall Lion, repair the disk using Disk Utility, restore from a Time Machine backup, or browse the web with Safari. This drive can be used in the event you cannot start your computer with the built-in Recovery HD, or you have replaced the hard drive with a new one that does not have Mac OS X installed.
    And here it is explained further:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
    It stores some tools (Disk Utility) to repair your drive and lets you connect to the app store to re-download the OS or restore it from a Time Machine backup. That's it.
    And it will re-install or restore your system (OS), it will not touch your files. However,
    NOTE: before doing anything like that, it is wise to have a complete backup - things can happen.

    Verizon iPhone 4S SIM UNLOCK Tutorial
    SGMD1 Oct 19, 2011 9:40 PM  
    Currently Being Moderated
    Verizon has confirmed (here and here) they WILL unlock the SIM on the iPhone 4S, allowing for use of local SIM cards while traveling abroad (no word yet on whether this will allow for use on AT&T and T-Mobile.) This is different than the jailbreak unlocking method; SIM unlocking through Verizon is permanent and will not affect your warranty in any way.
    1. Meet the following requirements:
    * Must be a Verizon Wireless customer.
    * The iPhone 4S being unlocked must be active on a Verizon Wireless line of service.
    * The line of service must be active at least 60 days.
    * The line of service must be in good standing for the past 60 days.
    * Only one SIM Unlock per line every 10 months.
    If you don't meet one or more of the above requirements, call anyway. You may still get lucky.
    2. Insert a foreign SIM into the SIM card slot on the side of your phone (only required to confirm that the unlock is successful.)
    3. Call 1-800-711-8300 (Verizon Global Support) and ask the representative for a SIM unlock. Occassionally a representative may not know exactly what you are referring to; make sure you are not transferred to a different department. You are in the right place. Explain that they should have a walkthrough on how to do this, and that it allows for the use of local, non-Verizon SIM cards while traveling abroad.
    4. Get confirmation from the rep that the unlock has been applied to your account, then check your phone to make sure it recognizes your SIM and can connect (if successful it will roam on AT&T, assuming you are calling from the USA.) You will NOT see an unlock confirmation in iTunes as that is for a factory-applied unlock only.
    5. Enjoy your new unlocked iPhone 4S!
    ****ALSO I JUST SPOKE WITH NICHOLE (VZN GLOBAL SUPPORT) REGARDING IF THE IPHONE 4S HAS TO BE ACTIVE AFTER SIM UNLOCK AND THE ANSWER IS: NO!

  • What does the open file dialog do 'under the hood' and is there a way to simulate it

    What does the open file dialog do 'under the hood' and is there a way to simulate it?
    I have a bug in my code (that I've posted about before, here) which I can't fix at the moment, but I do have a workaround.
    Briefly, the bug:
    I call a dll from a function node, to initialise and run a spectrometer. If I start up the PC, LabVIEW and run my vi the code runs without complaint, the first call to the dll to initialise the spectrometer doesn;t return an error but the spectrometer is not detected either.
    I've tried various solutions, see the link above, and none work
    The workaround:
    If, at any time before running the code containing the function node I open an 'open file' dialog window, select the dll and click ok/hit enter then everything is fine. When I run the main code the spectrometer is detected.
    I use an express vi to open the file dialog, I specify the start path and file name as constant inputs and just click ok/hit return when the dialog pops up. I don't do anything with the dialog outputs. In fact the vi that contains the open file dialog can be run before the project containing the bug is even open.
    I have to do this everytime I turn the PC on.
    So, either
    1) Can somewone suggest a fix for the original bug?
    2) What is the easiest way to simulate the enter keypress when the open file dialog pops up
    or
    3) Can someone tell me what the open file dialog does under the hood that somehow causes the dll to work and can it be simulated in straight LabVIEW
    I suspect that the dll itself is dodgy ( I have in the past talked to the supplier but not got very far, and I will try again but I would like a quick, temporary solution too). I'm guessing that the file dialog is making some kind of check on the file, and possibly registering its presence with the OS (winXP). I tried using the file/folder exists vi to see if checking the file like that worked but no luck.
    Any help greatly appreciated.
    Dave

    Hi David
    I am very conscious about thread hijacking but this sounded like my issue so I hope you dont mind me asking about your issue. I am hoping that you have a spectrometer from the same vendor as me and its not just me seeing an Error 1097 issue. My spectrometer is from a company called Stellarnet.
    So far I have unable to get it to work with other VIs. There is one condition where I can get it to work but its no good for me.
    Case 1
    I open the VI in a fresh labview environment with no other VIs in memory. The code runs with no issue.
    Case 2
    Labview is not opened. I double click the spectrometer VI in windows explorer.  The VI opens but it fails to run resulting in Error 1097. Personally, I dont see the difference between this and Case 1 above and yet it fails.
    Case 3
    If I already have other VI's in memory and try to load the spectrometer VI and run it fails with Error 1097. This case is the one that most important to me. I have a test executive that will load test VIs dynamically and I can't get this to work. Same problem Error 1097.
    I wanted to share what I have seen with you and to let you know that maybe somebody else has the same issue. I am convinced its the DLL but the vendor dis-agreed saying it was LabVIEW. I couldn't convince him otherwise.
    Thanks in advance
    David
