I have a Voodoo3 card in my box. So I downloaded Xfree86 3.3.6
because it supports my card. I configured it like it is described
at http://www.zeta.org.au/~dsalton/solaris/top.html. When I restart my
Solaris8, it tries to start the X and then it prints to console that it
cannot start x on :0.
Does anyone know where the problem is?
Jochen

>setenv DISPLAY localhost:0.0
>startx
this forces X apps that come with Solaris to use TCP connection
to communicate with X server.
hope this helps

Make sure you have either downloaded a binary specifically compiled for
Solaris 8, or source that was patched for Solaris 8 - XFree86 3.3.x was
not compatible with Solaris 8 out of the box, and binaries built for
previous versions of Solaris won't work, since they used the
undocumented Virtual Terminal interface that was removed from S8.
If you're running the CDE login screen, check /var/dt/Xerrors for more
detailed error messages that may be more useful in tracking down the
problem.

1. Evaluation pointers: x86-Solaris vs x86-NT vs SPARC-Solaris
We are trying to come up with a division-wide standard for workstations
(a mix of engineering applications as well as office-productivity apps).
We realize that we will always need high-end UNIX workstations for
visualization, CFD, CAE, etc....this standard is for the middle-of-the
road requirements. The choice has boiled down to that specified in
the subject line.
Can anybody point me to web pages, ftp-sites, etc where I can find
info (honest-to-god evaluations, opinions, reports, benchmark results)
on the above subject?
If you have experiences (maybe opinions as well) please let me know. This
has the potential of quickly degenerating into a long UNIX-machine vs PC
battle (I'm a long time Sun fan)....BUT I'D LIKE TO FOCUS ON ISSUES LIKE
performance, capability, drawbacks, cost. etc.
Thanks,
Shash
