Preface - Sun Microsystems SPARCstation 10SX System Configuration Manual

Preface

This manual, SPARCstation™ 10SX and SPARCstation 20 System Configuration Guide,
describes the machine-dependent functions of the Solaris™ graphics and window
system APIs (Application Program Interfaces) such as Xlib, as related to the SX
video subsystem.
Note – The XIL graphics software in this Solaris release does not provide
performance enhancements specifically for the SPARCstation 10SX and
SPARCstation 20. The last release to provide XIL acceleration specifically for these
systems was the Solaris 2.5.1 release.Also, in this Solaris release, XGL support is no
longer provided. The last release to provide XGL support was the Solaris 7 release.
This document should be used as an addendum to the graphics developer
documentation for your Solaris release and to the SPARCstation 10SX Hardware
Owner's Guide or SPARCstation 20 Hardware Owner's Guide.
