20238   How to determine which PGX32/GFX32 patch to install   29 Jan 2002

Status Issued

Description
A system containing a PGX32 video card could have been configured with 
either the Sun distribution bundled GFX graphics drivers (preferred only 
for convenience) or the third party GFX drivers from Techsource.

You need to know which drivers are present in order to know which PGX32/GFX32 
graphics driver patch to install.          
            
SOLUTION SUMMARY:
To determine which PGX32/GFX32 patch to install, execute command..

 		# pkginfo | grep TSI

If you receive the following output, these are Sun distribution bundled 
PGX drivers..

system      TSIpgx         PGX32 (Raptor GFX) System Software/Device Driver
system      TSIpgxmn       PGX32 (Raptor GFX) Man Pages
application TSIpgxw        PGX32 (Raptor GFX) X Window System Support

   NOTE FOR SOLARIS 2.8+ USERS: The third party graphics drivers available at
   http://www.techsource.com/ do not work on Solaris 2.8. The software for
   the PGX cards on Solaris 2.8 is bundled with the Sun distribution and the 
   packages are included in your OS software.

   IMPORTANT: A system should NOT contain both the Sun AND Techsource version 
   drivers. The proper way to fix this (if all 5 packages are installed) is to
   boot up to singleuser mode, pkgrm all 5 packages, then pkgadd the appropriate
   set of packages. Then reboot the machine.
