Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] IO_b148 on an ATI HD 5770: Xorg failure / black screen

do you have another monitor that you can try? a CRT might be a good bet, if you can get one, and see if it's just sending out the wrong refresh ... If that is it you might need to manually set a modeline for your usual monitor. On 22 December 2010 17:33, Robin Axelsson wrote: > I just installed

[OpenIndiana-discuss] OpenIndiana on VirtualBox 4.0

Hello folks, Neat bit of trivia -- in VirtualBox 4.0's new VM wizard, if you give "OpenIndiana" as part of the VM name it automatically selects "Solaris | Solaris modern (S10U8+)" as the OS type and subtype. It's nice to get a nod from Oracle. :) Cheers, kjw _

But there is nothing wrong with the monitor or the connection. I get the BIOS post and I get the GRUB but as soon as Xorg initiates it goes black. Xorg works not fine in build 134 (it yields a picture but not at the resolution I want due to some limitations in the drivers) but it works and has

do you have a custom Xorg configuration? what model Radeon are you using? Is your monitor connected via the HDMI interface? when you tried another monitor, did you connect it on the VGA/other interface(s) before the computer booted? Jon On 23 December 2010 12:22, Robin Axelsson wrote: > But th

ATX cases will come with standoffs that you will screw into the chassis' motherboard tray to match holes in the motherboard. ATX cases will take up the entire motherboard tray, MicroATX boards will take up a smaller footprint in these cases. There are sub-ATX cases available that will only handle

Hi Harry, AFAIK, most cases will have downsize capabilities regarding the motherboard's form factor. So a full tower case, will have the screw hole spots for Extended ATX, ATX, Micro ATX; a mid tower case have ATX and Micro ATX holes; while a mini tower have only Micro ATX holes. And I just kne
