Xinerama on Solaris.

I want to extend my solaris 10 developer edition desktop across my two monitor.
I have an ati radeon x550 with two monitor support.
I Try this tutorial
http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/features/articles/xinerama_x86.html
scanpci find two ati devices (corrispondent to two video card port) and I configure following the tutorial.
But my desktop only replicate the same desktop in monitor one and in monitor two.
What's the problem? Is there an alternative in order to extend desktop?

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.

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.

Solaris 10 x86 w/ Matrox G450 dual head and xinerama

I have solaris 10 x86 with matrox g450 dual head and x.org x-server. The problem is to get xinerama work. When xinerama isn't enabled, two different desktops work well - or, they work, but they are pretty useless because I can't move windows between them. So, I have to enable xinerama, but it seems, that neither JDS/Gnome nor CDE haven't been built including support for xinerama.
When I enable xinerama, X.org-x-server starts fine and there's dtlogin. When I login and it passes execution to gnome, it fails and x-server restarts. Same with CDE. But if I put 'exec /opt/sfw/bin/xterm to my .dtprofile', it starts ok and I can do some testing..
% dtwm

% gtk-demo
The program 'gtk-demo' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)'.

(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line<br />
option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
% gtk-demo --sync<br />

If I start /opt/sfw/bin/fvwm2, it works fine too, so the problem seems to be gtk/glib/gnome and CDE. One odd thing is that, normal CDE-programs, like dtterm, dtcm, dtcalc etc. works fine. But dtwm doesn't work in xinerama mode.
So, would anyone have any suggestion what could I do? Do I have to recompile my own GNOME, or could Sun do something to the next Solaris 10 update? (As far as I understood, current Solaris 10 release doesn't include zfs yet, so there will be update soon, I think)

Hello,
I'm also using a g450.
Now I'm trying for 5 days to get it work with xinerama under Xorg and/or
Xsun.
Can anybody tell me how to get it work ?
I would like to see a working xorg.conf.
(I don't know how to configure 2 screens for Xsun. Mybe someone can give my his configuration file(s) ?)
Thanks to all who will help me !!!
p.s. here is my latest attempt of xorg.conf which does not provide xinerama for me:

From where can I get these libraries? I tried installing XFree86 4.5.0 on this sun box. With that also it is giving the same error messages. Actually installation of XFree86 4.5.0 has solved this problem on linux (RedHat 7). Should I install these libraries separately on the existing sun machine? If yes, then what versions of these libs should be installed?
This is a very critical issue for me. Please help me in solving this problem�
Thanks and Regards,
Rupa.

Well, anything with "Demo" or "Source" in the title you can delete usually without any problems.
It looks like everything in your list is X11 related. Its really a question for you. If you plan to perform TOTAL CLI type administration on this machine, you can delete the X11 stuff completely. This of course assumes there in nothing in the SunONE application software suite which doesn't require X11 capabilities for configuration. I've never used the SunONE app server but I SERIOUSLY doubt it does. More then likely its administration is browser based.
BUT, if you want to perform some limited X11 display back stuff from time to time, you're going to need the X11 stuff.

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:

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:

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.

You should give more details of your configuration. I use something cloning or Xinerama mode on my notebook and it works.

I use Xfree86 porting driver for my display, is this the problem?
best regards,
Thone M.

i'll be honest with you - i had the exact same problem as you are having now - i believe you either used a binary form or else.
anyhow.
what i did is - i got rid of it, and compiled a newly fresh binary form of MPlayer for Linux in Solaris 9.
i believe you're using 04/03 or 08/03 so, the libraries shouldn't be a problem at all.
hope this helps.
i think the url for MPlayer is www.mplayerhq.com or something.
just type mplayer in google.com and you should be able to fetch it quite quickly.
cheers.

Is it available somewhere?
Thank you a lot.

Here's what I used to compile up (I think) 90%+ of Qt 4.8.4. The configure step creates qmake and the compile rolls along until it hits a lot of non standard C++ code. But you get qmake out of it. The tarball is the latest snapshot of the 4.8.x git tree.
Caveat: It's being built using Sun Studio 12.3 and the stdcxx library from my package site, along with a bunch of dependant packages from there. I never got Qt 4.8.4 to finish compiling with webkit, the 3rdparty/javascriptcore/JavaScriptCore/* files are truly awful non compliant code and error out every step of the compile. Sigh.
Good luck

Elite 3D & xinerama

Hi,
Hardware: Ultra60 with two Elite3D graphic cards
Software: Solaris 9 with the patch cluster from yesterday
Problem: If I enable xinerama in /etc/dt/config/Xservers, the system tries to start the login screen but fails. There is just the console login prompt.
- where or how can I track down the problem (log file)?
- Any hints?
Regards,
Cyrill

Hi Martin,
I have the same problem with Elite 3D and a PC monitor. I could change the resolution to 1280x1024x60 with afbconfig from serial console, and it switched over to separate sync (although it was already 1280x1024x60). However, it initializes with composite sync. I wrote the command '/usr/sbin/afbconfig -res 1280x1024x60 nocheck now' in /etc/rc2.d/S91afbinit, but the system hangs at boot. I will try to resolve it. If you have a solution, let us know.
For the OBP resolution you can try creating an 'nvalias afb /SUNW,afb@1e,0', then 'setenv output-device afb:r1280x1024x60' and reset.

Xinerama with some CDE utilities

Problem - two SunRay 3+ clients on (SRS 4.2 from SRSS 5.1.2 with all latest patch of Solaris) in multihead configuration with Xinerama enabled on Sol x86 CDE - can't run few CDE utilities, like dtfile (just does not show window), dtpad (no window) and dtcalc (core dump). Interestingly it does not work even if I try run these utilities with ssh -X tunneling from Sol 9 SPARC host.
However if I disable Xinerama with utconfig -x off everything works just fine. Tried giving different -display options, still the same. This thing is working perfectly with ancient SRS 3.1.
Any clues ? Logged case but support is pretty useless, i.e. nothing that I knew already.

Sorry this doesn't really help with the Xinerama problem, but since you are using the nvidia driver, have you considered using Twinview instead? You could do composite stuff too with Twinview - last I knew, Xinerama had problems with things that want to use compositing. I don't know how your setup is but if you're not set on using Xinerama, it might be an option to consider.

Logical interface in solaris 10

Hi there,
I need to configure logical interface in a solaris 10 3/05 server. After reading the Solaris 10 IP services manual, I am not quite sure what to do. All the examples and explanation are about using the new subcommand addif of ifconfig. It was not clear in the documentation if the setting logical interfaces via addif will persist across boot.
Can one still configure logical interface in Solaris 10 in a more traditional way like in Solaris 8? In an Solaris 8 server I will do the following.
Let's assume I want to configure in a solaris 8 server a logical interface named hme0:1 with IP address 192.168.20.28 with netmask 255.255.255.0 for hostname host001
# cat /etc/hostname.hme0:1
host001
^D
# echo "192.168.20.28 host001" >> /etc/inet/hosts
# echo "192.168.20.0 255.255.255.0" >> /etc/inet/netmasks
# reboot -- -r
Can one still do that in solaris 10 3/05 server?

You don't need to reboot (you can run ifconfig for this boot and let the files do the work next time) and the -r doesn't do anything with interfaces (expecially virtual interfaces) anyway.

Installation problem on Solaris

I am trying to install sun one 7.0 on Solaris 8. The install is failing with this error:
ERROR - library load failed with following error: Can't load library: /opt/SUNWappserver7/lib/libinstallCore.so
INFO - End core server uninstallation
anyone know what causes this??
cheers

Looks like Solaris package installation failed and installer reverted to uninstallation sequence. For low level pkgadd log please check /var/sadm/install/logs/Sun_ONE_Application_Server_install.B<timestamp> file (timestamp is date and time of your installation attempt in mmddHHMM format).
Look for any errors in this file. Most likely thing that could have happened is that the installation of Java Help (SUNWjhrt) package failed because you didn't have existing package based J2SE installation on the system. If that's the case, workaround is to either preinstall package based J2SE installation or to selected option to install bundled J2SE that comes with application server.

Installation problem on Solaris 10

Dear All,
We are trying to install j2sdk 1.4.2_13 on solaris server zone. I have downloaded j2sdk-1_4_2_13-nb-5_0-solsparc-ml.bin
But when I try to execute this:
#./j2sdk-1_4_2_13-nb-5_0-solsparc-ml.bin
It gives me error: The installer is unable to run in graphical mode. Try running the installer with the -console or -silent flag
Tried with -console:
The wizard cannot continue because of the following error: Invalid command line option: console is not supported (10
01) (403)
WARNING: could not delete temporary file /tmp/ismp001/2599368
WARNING: could not delete temporary file /tmp/ismp001/6183226
WARNING: could not delete temporary file /tmp/ismp001/1222839
Then tried with -silent:
This time command just completed w/o any output at all.
Please suggest what can I do?
regards, Sean.

Dear Siddhesh,
Thanks for your reply.
I tried using X Manager GUI for my Solaris. But when I double click the j2sdk-1_4_2_13-nb-5_0-solsparc-ml.bin file to run it, it simply denies saying:
The filename "j2sdk-1_4_2_13-nb-5_0-solsparc-ml.bin" indicates that this file is of type "Unknown type". The contents of the file indicate that the file is of type "Shell script". If you open this file, the file might present a security risk to your system.
Do not open the file unless you created the file yourself, or received the file from a trusted source. To open the file, rename the file to the correct extension for "Shell script", then open the file normally. Alternatively, use the Open With menu to choose a specific application for the file.
Also /tmp has full authorizations:
drwxrwxrwt 7 root sys 557 Jun 24 08:34 tmp
I dont have Hummingbird for X11 forwarding with this client. Do I have any other option??
regards, Sean.

New to Solaris, Some Samba and NTFS issues.

Hi Im new to solaris and trying out ZFS which has been great.
Im haivng some trouble that I cant find up to date info on so here goes:
First how do you mount an NTFS volume in Solaris 11 Express?
I need to access the data on an NTFS drive to populate my new ZFS tank.
Secondly, I have read only access on my samba shares from windows machines but my smb.conf looks right. a copy of my smb.conf will follow
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
# This is the main Samba configuration file. You should read the
# smb.conf(5) manual page in order to understand the options listed
# here. Samba has a huge number of configurable options (perhaps too
# many!) most of which are not shown in this example
# For a step to step guide on installing, configuring and using samba,
# read the Samba-HOWTO-Collection. This may be obtained from:
# http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba-HOWTO-Collection.pdf
# Many working examples of smb.conf files can be found in the
# Samba-Guide which is generated daily and can be downloaded from:
# http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba-Guide.pdf
# Any line which starts with a ; (semi-colon) or a # (hash)
# is a comment and is ignored. In this example we will use a #
# for commentry and a ; for parts of the config file that you
# may wish to enable

This doesn't look like a Sun Directory Server issue. You may want to post this to another forum.
