Solaris on Gigabyte motherboard
Hi All!!
after futile trials to install solaris on my dell laptop i tried installing on my desktop-customer built
new HD
it all installed fine.....but my mouse acts weird...i cant click the right things in the right place....may be i need mouse drivers
but my solaris OS doesn't see that i have a optical drive in there...
how can i install mouse drivers
secondly- there are no audio drivvers as well
- there is no internet connection
- it totally skipped the step to ask me if i was using dhcp!!
please help

Hi,
1. For the sound problem. you have to download and install driver for your sound card. Search using your sound card or sound device name and solaris for the driver. you can also try the following sites if your requirement matches.
Solaris Audio Drivers 1.0

2. Mouse problem: I don't think that problem is for optical mouse. Because I use optical mouse smoothly.
It can be easily solved by configuring Xorg. Solaris uses 2 GUI system. Xsun and Xorg. Xsun is the default one. But Xorg comes with some extended features.
to configure Xorg go to terminal and type kdmconfig. Then the Xorg configaration starts. It asks you about your system, resolution, keyboard, mouse etc. Answer those questions properly and save and exit. After restart it works.
REMEMBER: after configuration and before reboot check if the keyboard is setup in US language by typing- gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf . then see in input device > core keyboard section.
if it is not "us", then edit and make the Option "XkbLayout" " "us"
I think it helps.
regards
