昨天第一次安装测试,在配置Video的时候没有能够通过测试,没有继续安装
今天只查到一些资料；


The latest Xsun patches have "generic VESA/SVGA" support. (patch 109401), so it should work with almost any video card. You can also tweak it to support 1400x1050
For support for Dell's new super-hi-res screens (nv based), you can try just pkgadd -d DELLwxga.pkg, and then selecting one of the "Dell W*XGA" LCD Monitors from kdmconfig.

For a wider general range of card suport from Xsun, you may want to install the xfree86 'porting' kit from Sun. Despite its 'porting kit' name, it actually comes with compiled binaries that are plug-n-go, for any card that xfree4.2.0 supports. You can also get a patch for suns patch, to better support some ATI cards, from Juergen Keil's site

Unfortunately, the support is not 100% perfect: using a geforce2 with the kit will display most things, but certain very rare apps will have corrupted graphics (As of Dec 14, 2001). Unfortunately, one of these "rare apps" is Netscape 6.1, but the good news is, you can allegedly work around this issue by calling it with --no-xshm

FIX for solaris 9 x86: install patch 112786

Another option is XiG's commercial X server. XiG'd drivers support a few cards that xfree does not. Their drivers are production quality, and if you pay a little extra, you can get 3d acceleration for your laptop, too.
