So I recently decided to reload my ultra10 machine with a recent copy of Solaris 9. Once the system was reloaded I had what appeared to be 8 bit color on my Creator 3D framebuffer. Issuing ffbconfig -prconf only listed resolutions, not color depths I could use. I found the answer on google, by issuing the following command I set my card to 1280×1024 @ 60hz and 24bit color depth:
ffbconfig -dev /dev/fbs/ffb0 -deflinear true -g 1.1 -res 1280x1024x60
If you don’t set the -g (gamma) option your color will look washed out. Another bit of strangeness I noted was that the part number (525-1746-06) on my creator3D UPA framebuffer can’t be found in Sunsolve which made it awfully difficult to identify the card and get it’s specs. Just thought I’d post this info in case someone else out there is looking.
I have a imac and a mac book pro, the imac is running tiger can I install the cd that came with my macbook pro on my imac?
