Installing Solaris 7 Intel

Hello,

Installing Solaris 7 Intel in a HP Compaq computer, can't configure graphics device for CDE to create a test-computer.

The HP is provided Intel 82945G Express graphic device, 17-inc screen size and 1280x1024-60Hz.

what kind of window system configuration need for Solaris 7 Intel ?

Thanks for all.

I-945G graphics chipset?

It's too new for that old discontinued version of Solaris.

You may have better luck if you buy a used ATI RAGE 8MB card and live with that older generation graphics.

If you're lucky, Solaris 10 x86 will install to that system you've chosen.

No.

Your desired version of Solaris is too old for that graphics chipset.

Solaris 7 is a discontinued product, as of August 2003.

There will not be any patches for it, to take advantage of any newer technology.

Intel would have to choose to write a graphics driver for you.

As I suggested in my first response, if you need more capability,

disable the onboard graphics and install an old ATI Rage PCI card.

That ATI chipset worked for me when I briefly ran Sol-7 x86 on a 440BX Pentium 233.

It gave me 24-bit color on 800x600 if I recall correctly from 5+ years ago.

... or just "live" with the default limited capability you currently have.
