Ok, if you want decent 24 bit color under Solaris 8 with an
older sbus/mbus SparcStation the AG10-E will work.
Howto:
a) Install Solaris 8 in 32bit mode (like you get a choice) :)
b) Install the Solaris 2.6 packages for the Fujitsu AG10-E (PFUaga, PFUaga.2, PFUagacf, PFUagaow, PFUagar), reboot liberally :)
c) copy /usr/dt/config/Xservers to /etc/dt/config/Xservers
d) edit /etc/dt/config/Xservers so that the you add '-dev /dev/fb defclass TrueColor' to your Xsun entry
e) then restart dtlogin remotely or reboot
Obviously your mileage will vary and other settings will and won't work.... But at 10$ for an AG10e on Ebay
it beats hell out of a S24 or a TGX.
Now if I could only find an OpenGL driver for this puppy....
have fun,
Monty.
