Sun XVR-200 Graphics Accelerator Installation Guide • December 2006

The largest pixmaps are stored in off-screen memory. If a larger pixmap replaces a
smaller pixmap in the off-screen memory, the smaller pixmap moves to system
memory and remains there even after the larger pixmap is destroyed.

OpenGL Support

Sun OpenGL for Solaris support is provided through the Direct Pixel Access (DPA)
Extension. The Sun OpenGL 1.5 for Solaris software support is provided in the
Solaris 10 1/06 Operating System.
