Hallo,
im new with solaris but need it for university. So I decided to install one in a vmware-enviroment on XP Pro. Although I changed the display resolution (to 1400x1050) during installation the resolution after the first boot is set to 640x480. If i change the resolution using xconfig.org the system doesn't boot afterwards (maybe false monitor parameters?). Does someone has an configuration like or equal to the one i want to implement? Please help me!

Hi,

People who have solaris on T41p are very less. In linux (latest suse or redhat), we have driver for the ATI radeon firegl T2 card. If it's an unsupported card, there is an option called VESA mode which can be configured in X config file. Perhaps, you can try something similar in solaris. This works for better resolutions according to card's memory with a common driver.

regards,
Parthban.

You also may want to try some of the usenet, they are very helpful
for instance news:comp.unix.solaris

Just steped over the same thing, so if anybody still interested:
You just need to craft a xorg.conf file and put it into /etc/X11/.
Here's mine (without any gurantee to be complete, but it works
for me on my T23):

Here's mine (without any gurantee to be complete, but it works
for me on my T23):

I doubt that will work in VMware. The problem i see is that the VESA 2 specifications does not know the resolution 1400x1050 and Solaris xorg most likely choses the "vesa" driver inside vmware. I think that 1280x1024 works.

Yup! I missed out the vmware thing (sorry). Mine is running directly on the Thinkpad. But with using vesa (as you suggested) it should be possible to write a working xorg,conf.
