Solution Type Problem Resolution Sure Solution 1011754.1 : CDE dual-head display with TCX card on SS4 does not work
PreviouslyPublishedAs 216112 Symptoms On Solaris[TM] 2.6 Only!!!!! When setting up a dual-head display on a SPARC(R) 4, if one of the cards is a tcx card, then the monitor will come up black. There is a window manager running on both monitor displays but the screen is black and won't show the desktop for the tcx display. Resolution There is a bug filed on this 4075715. The workaround for now is as follows: 1. Halt the system so that it is at the open boot prom. 2. <ok> setenv output-device /iommu/sbus/SUNW,tcx@2,800000 3. <ok> reset Now run the dual-head display command, and both monitors should work fine. The problem is that the Solaris 2.6 Xserver is not initializing the tcx framebuffer upon startup of the graphics display. Note: The device path to the TCX may be different. To see where it actually is, type <ok> show-devs and look for tcx. Note that a similar problem occurs on the Ultra[TM] 10 with 2.5.1 11/97 (this has not been reported for other versions of Solaris) and a PGX card in a dual display configuration. The above workaround applies to this problem also (look for m64 in the show-devs output).
