Sun PGX32 PCI Graphics Card Installation Guide • August 1999

The resolutions up to 1280

×

1024 are in 8/24 mode unless set explicitly using

GFXconfig

(

pgxconfig

if bundled with the Solaris operating environment). All

resolutions over 1280

×

1024 default to an 8-bit visual. See Appendix A for a list of

supported resolutions.

Cached Pixmaps

All PGX32 cards support off-screen pixmap caching. Cached pixmaps are stored in
the PGX32 off-screen memory. These off-screen pixmaps allow faster transfer rates to
and from screen windows. The available off-screen memory depends upon the
current resolution and depth settings.

OpenGL Support

OpenGL support is provided through the Direct Pixel Access (DPA) Extension. To
use this function, OpenGL v1.1.1 or higher must be already installed on your system.

Note –

In Sun OpenGL for the Solaris v1.1.1 environment, there is a bug in the DPA

PCI 24-bit support that causes the red and blue colors to be swapped. A Sun patch
(ID 106022-07) fixes this problem and is available at

http://sunsolve.sun.com

.

It is fixed in Sun OpenGL for Solaris v1.1.2.
