Solaris 9 Sun Hardware Platform Guide

After Installing the Packages

After installing the packages, do the following:

To Verify Package Installation

  1. Exit the window system and restart it so that the window system loads the newly installed GLX server extension.

  2. To verify that the OpenGL libraries are installed correctly, run ogl_install_check.

    The ogl_install_check test program prints the version of the OpenGL library and renderer used, and renders a rotating wheel. The program returns the following output when it is run on an UltraSPARC Creator3D:


    OpenGL Vendor:             Sun Microsystems, Inc.
OpenGL Version:            1.2.1 Sun OpenGL 1.2.1 for Solaris

For diagnostic purposes, the following values should be noted if Solaris OpenGL software problems are seen:


OpenGL Renderer:               Creator 3D, VIS
OpenGL Extension Support:      GL_EXT_texture3D
                               GL_SGI_color_table
                               GL_SUN_geometry_compression
                               GL_EXT_abgr
                               GL_EXT_rescale_normal
