Solaris X Window System Developer's Guide

Solaris Reference Devices and Visuals

Table A–1 lists the reference display devices and the visuals that they export. The device name specifies the display adapter to the server, and the product name specifies the type of display card. Note that if there is a distinct product name for a device, the product name is used in preference to the CGn device name (for example, TC is used, not CG8).

Exported depths specify the depths of the visuals advertised by the server for screens of this particular device type. MPG (Multiple Plane Group) indicates that the device supports multiple depth visuals. For other information on terms used in this table, see Glossary.
