supported for Solaris x86?
No, not anymore. There’s just too many and they tend to have strange hardware. That being said, many happen to work. Also, old drivers or desktop drivers sometimes function for laptop hardware. For a list of known laptops compatible with Solaris x86, see Philip Brown’s “Solaris Intel Laptop List” at http://www.bolthole.com/solaris/x86-laptops.html If you want more than VGA resolution, you can try installing XFree86. See section 8 of the faq on X Windows for more information. Evan Rudderow points out that the simplest way to run Solaris x86 on laptops is to run it under VMWare. If it’s only Solaris you need on a laptop, and you don’t mind coughing up $$$$, you can get SPARC laptops from http://www.naturetech.com.tw/ and http://www.tadpolecomputer.com/ _________________________________________________________________ Copyright 1997 – 2004 Dan Anderson.
