Also, you might want to use the version of GCC that you find on SFE. The OI one in /usr/bin/gcc is version 3.4.3, while the one in SFE is 4.6.2. I have had better luck compiling with the latter as opposed to the former. When you have multiple compilers installed, you can set the one you want

Hi all, maybe the usual advice would work: try to disable ACPI by editing the GRUB boot line when the installer is booting and adding -acpi-user-config=0x2 ? If that works and you can install, you might then try to use the "eeprom" command to see what levels work for you. 0x2 is completely di

It might not be very useful for a laptop, because when it says "save to file", you really are supposed to save it to Xorg.conf and then move it to /etc/X11/xorg.conf and reboot. That will make modifications stick upon reboot. Again, are you always using the external display? Sent from my BlackB

Maybe you could try disabling ACPI in BIOS if possible, or otherwise use the acpi-user-options=0x2 at boot. Read here for more info on disabling ACPI on boot: https://blogs.oracle.com/danasblog/entry/configuring_solaris_acpi_at_boot BTW and OT, I hadn't even thought that attaching an image to
