Installing the Sun XVR-4000 Graphics Accelerator Software
|
This chapter provides Sun XVR-4000 graphics accelerator software installation information.
Software Requirements
- The Solaris 8 2/02 operating environment or a subsequent compatible version of the operating environment
For the Solaris 8 2/02 operating environment, you must first install the Sun Fire V880z Operating Environment Installation DVD, accompanying this Sun XVR-4000
graphics accelerator installation kit. See Appendix E
for this procedure.
- The Solaris 9 4/03 operating environment or a subsequent compatible version of the operating environment
If you are installing the Solaris 9 4/03 operating environment, it already has the software needed for the Sun Fire V880z server including the Sun XVR-4000 graphics accelerator. After installing that Solaris release (or a subsequent release), install OpenGL 1.3, Sun XVR-4000 graphics accelerator patches, and extra value software from the Sun XVR-4000 Graphics Accelerator CD.
See TABLE 3-5 for the list of patches. Always check for the latest software patches at: http://sunsolve.sun.com/
Updated versions of Sun OpenGL® for Solaris are available at: http://www.sun.com/software/graphics/OpenGL/

For the Solaris 8 2/02 operating environment, here is an overview of the software installation process:
1. Insert the Sun Fire V880z Operating Environment Installation DVD into the DVD-ROM drive, and boot your system off of it, as described in Appendix E, Installing Solaris 8 2/02 Software on the Sun Fire V880z Server.
2. Install the Solaris DVD when prompted.
After installing Solaris, the system reboots.
3. Insert the Sun XVR-4000 graphics accelerator CD into the DVD-ROM drive, become superuser, and go to the following directory:
4. Start the install script. Type:
Respond to the installation prompts.
5. Install the Sun XVR-4000 graphics accelerator hardware, if not already present.
6. Configure the software through the Xservers file (Chapter 5), if necessary, and through fbconfig (Chapter 6).
To remove the software, use the ./remove command, and respond to the remove prompts.
