These differences result from Sun Microsystems wanting to provide: • greater ease-of-use with the Linux installer • those packgages applicable to the environment(s) in which the Sun Linux distribution will be deployed • packages based on technical merit and the most recent update versions of particular packages • packages that respond to customer needs A key goal for this initial release was to remain as closely compatible as possible with Red Hat 7.2 for the benefit of customers. This document covers the following areas: • Differences in how the Linux installer works • A table of RPM version numbers for both Linux distributions • Additional Sun Applications present in Sun Linux 5.0 • Minor modifications to Linux applications • Some notes on the Java™ platform • Additional information For specific operational details, refer to the user documentation for the Sun LX50 server. Sun Linux 5.0 installer The installer for Sun Linux 5.0 is designed specifically for easy installation on the Sun LX50 server with minimum user input; as such, it does not support a general-purpose installation on a wide array of x86-based hardware. If you add a new hard disk, replace a failed system disk, or for any other reason need to restore the system using the CD-ROMs for a standard default restore, the installer will perform the task with almost no input from the user. You can choose to perform your own disk partioning or, if using the server with two or more disks, you can set up a RAID configuration. Differences between Sun Linux and Red Hat Linux 1-1 Chapter 1: Differences Between Sun™ Linux 5.0 and Red Hat Linux 7.2 General Sun Linux 5.0 installer The general Sun Linux 5.0 installer has the following features: • Uses a kickstart file, with a specification determined by a launch script which examines the Sun LX50 server and proposes a suitable configuration. • Sends a greater amount of log information to the serial port during installation. This information details each individual package as it installs, and several of the post-install steps that are performed. • Halts after a successful install, instead of automatically rebooting. • Provides a single-button OS restore using the default disks and configuration. • Does not support locales other than EN (English) at this time. • Automatically ejects CD-ROMs and senses when the next one is inserted. • Defaults to a character-based LILO boot loader to support booting through the serial console port. Sun Linux 5.0 LILO boot loader The Sun Linux 5.0 Linux Loader (LILO) boot loader has the following features: • Adds LILO entries for the serial console port and display, for each kernel option listed at boot time. • Defaults to using lba32 with LILO, so that the disk layout of the kernel is more flexible. • Forces the enterprise kernel to be installed. Normally, this is installed only if certain BIOS attributes are found. • Does not make a LILO

    Release Notes for X11R6.8.2 The X.OrgFoundation The XFree86 Project, Inc. 9February 2005 Abstract These release notes contains information about features and their status in the X.Org Foundation X11R6.8.2 release. It is based on the XFree86 4.4RC2 RELNOTES docu- ment published by The XFree86™ Project, Inc. Thereare significant updates and dif- ferences in the X.Orgrelease as noted below. 1. Introduction to the X11R6.8.2 Release The release numbering is based on the original MIT X numbering system. X11refers to the ver- sion of the network protocol that the X Window system is based on: Version 11was first released in 1988 and has been stable for 15 years, with only upwardcompatible additions to the coreX protocol, a recordofstability envied in computing. Formal releases of X started with X version 9 from MIT;the first commercial X products werebased on X version 10. The MIT X Consortium and its successors, the X Consortium, the Open Group X Project Team, and the X.OrgGroup released versions X11R3 through X11R6.6, beforethe founding of the X.OrgFoundation. Therewill be futuremaintenance releases in the X11R6.8.x series. However,efforts arewell underway to split the X distribution into its modular components to allow for easier maintenance and independent updates. We expect a transitional period while both X11R6.8 releases arebeing fielded and the modular release completed and deployed while both will be available as different consumers of X technology have different constraints on deployment. Wehave not yet decided how the modular X releases will be numbered. We encourage you to submit bug fixes and enhancements to bugzilla.freedesktop.orgusing the xorgproduct, and discussions on this server take place on <[email protected]>.

  • Release Notes for Xfree86® 4.8.0 the Xfree86 Project, Inc December 2008
    Release Notes for XFree86® 4.8.0 The XFree86 Project, Inc December 2008 Abstract This document contains information about the various features and their current sta- tus in the XFree86 4.8.0 release. 1. Introduction to the 4.x Release Series XFree86 4.0 was the first official release of the XFree86 4 series. The current release (4.8.0) is the latest in that series. The XFree86 4.x series represents a significant redesign of the XFree86 X server,with a strong focus on modularity and configurability. 2. Configuration: aQuickSynopsis Automatic configuration was introduced with XFree86 4.4.0 which makes it possible to start XFree86 without first creating a configuration file. This has been further improved in subsequent releases. If you experienced any problems with automatic configuration in a previous release, it is worth trying it again with this release. While the initial automatic configuration support was originally targeted just for Linux and the FreeBSD variants, as of 4.5.0 it also includes Solaris, NetBSD and OpenBSD support. Full support for automatic configuration is planned for other platforms in futurereleases. If you arerunning Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, or Solaris, try Auto Configuration by run- ning: XFree86 -autoconfig If you want to customise some things afterwards, you can cut and paste the automatically gener- ated configuration from the /var/log/XFree86.0.log file into an XF86Config file and make your customisations there. If you need to customise some parts of the configuration while leav- ing others to be automatically detected, you can combine a partial static configuration with the automatically detected one by running: XFree86 -appendauto If you areusing a platform that is not currently supported, then you must try one of the older methods for getting started like "xf86cfg", which is our graphical configuration tool.

  • Xfree86® on Darwin and Mac OS X Torrey T
    XFree86® on Darwin and Mac OS X Torrey T. Lyons 15 December 2003 1. Introduction XFree86, a freely redistributable open-source implementation of the X Window System, has been ported to Darwin and Mac OS X. This document is a collection of information for anyone running XFree86 on Apple’s next generation operating system. Most of the current work on XFree86 for Darwin and Mac OS Xiscentered around the XonX project at SourceForge. If you areinterested in up-to-date status, want to report a bug, or are interested in working on XFree86 for Darwin, stop by the XonX project. 2. Hardware Supportand Configuration The X window server for Darwin and Mac OS Xprovided by the XFree86 Project, Inc. is called XDarwin. XDarwin can run in three different modes. On Mac OS X, XDarwin runs in parallel with Aqua in full screen or rootless modes. These modes arecalled Quartz modes, named after the Quartz 2D compositing engine used by Aqua. XDarwin can also be run from the Darwin con- sole in IOKit mode. In full screen Quartz mode, when the X Window System is active, it takes over the entirescreen. Youcan switch back to the Mac OS Xdesktop by holding down Command-Option-A. This key combination can be changed in the user preferences. From the Mac OS Xdesktop, click on the XDarwin icon in the Dock to switch back to the X window system. (You can change this behavior in the user preferences so that you must click the XDarwin icon in the floating switch window instead.) In rootless mode, the X window system and Aqua shareyour display.
