From: Michelle on 4 Apr 2008 14:33 I have Solaris 10 x86. The motherboard has a built-in graphics card. How do I install a new graphics card (from the HCL list) so that Solaris will recognize it? I realize the first thing I need to do is go into the BIOS of the PC to disable the on-board graphics card. What else do I need to do after this? Thanks in advance.

It has been about four years since I last ran Solaris 8/9 on PC's and I have forgotten what it's called. You might try "man -k" to search for relevant man pages. ISTR something about 'KBCONFIG" or something like that.

What else do I need to do after this? /usr/sbin/kdmconfig You really should be in single-user mode when running this. |
