Hey all,

I'm fooling with Solaris 7 (Intel) for kicks. However, I have Trident Blade 3D and there aren't any available drivers. Anyone know why Solaris can'e eat this video card, as this card has been around since Solaris 2.5?

Or, is there a rouge driver driver floating around that I'm missing?

Thanks, Keith

Hello Keith.

The simplest way to resolve it is change
from openwin to XFree86 (www.XFree86.org).

It supports Trident Blade 3D from version
3.3.4, so you should go for the latest version of XFree 3, 3.3.6.

You can grab a binary distribution if you
don't want to compile it yourself. It is
also a bit faster than openwin and can be
made to work with other windowmanagers and
tools (Enlightenment and Gnome, for instance.)

Nowadays it even has a graphical configuration tool if you fancy that.

Sincerely,

Robert.
