Hi,
I'm very new to Solaris. I'm currently use Solaris 9. How can I use XWindows with Geforce 4. I cannot set up the windows coz it seems not to have Geforce4 driver.

By the way, is it different between the Xwindows that came from Solaris and Xfree86?

Thank you
Thone M.

Sun uses a proprietary version of X. If you get the XFree86 "porting kit" from Sun's website, you'll have access to all the XFree86 drivers. For now, you should be able to use your GF-4 as a VESA 2.0 card.
