The last two nights I had been working with my V120 server, installing a PGX32 gfx card that I received sometime ago. First I installed with the old Solaris 10 installation but nothig was appearing on the screen, only some noise. I didn't have the handbook and I wanted to do a fresh install. Today at lunch time I reinstalled it but the result was the same.
Some search in the sun website to reach the Framebuffer Handbook. First I configured the card from Solaris but I only get a yellow screen.. this was better anyway. Then I tried modifying the NVRAM parameters:
- From the root prompt: # poweroff
- In the lom prompt: lom> bootmode forth
- lom> poweron
- When I have the ok prompt I type >ok setenv output-device screen:r1280x1024x60
- ok reset
Today is too late and I am so tired. Soon I put pictures and more explanations.
See you.
