Video Driver Update Support

This release contains software improvements and support for the video devices listed below.

Video Display Device Support

Table 2-1 lists the video devices supported by this Video Driver Update.

While this table includes the resolution and color depth capabilities of each device, note that the resolution and color depth you select are also dependent on the capabilities of your monitor and the amount of video memory. See the Configuring Devices module in Information Library for Solaris 2.6 (Intel Platform Edition) for more information.

"--" in the Bus column indicates a video controller model that is used on video display adapters and motherboards.

Note -

If your video display device is not included in the list of supported video devices, make a note of its video chip. If you can find an entry for another device with this video chip, this support may work for your video device.

Note -

When running a Solaris 2.6 window system on most newer notebooks, the resolution to use for the internal notebook display will be automatically determined. However, you must still run kdmconfig to configure the notebook as well as the characteristics of a possible external display. In kdmconfig, you should select the Monitor Type, Screen Size, and Resolution/Colors entries that apply to your external display. If you do not plan to use an external display, select one of the Notebook entries as your Monitor. The window system software will automatically switch between the available resolution for your internal notebook display and the configured resolution for the external monitor.

If you have an older notebook for which the resolution of the display is not automatically determined, the resolution selected by kdmconfig will be used on both internal and external displays. On these notebooks, make sure you don't select a resolution that is higher than the internal display supports, because this may damage the display.
