    Xinerama is an X window system feature available in Solaris 8 system software and subsequent compatible releases for Sun graphics boards including the Sun XVR-1200 graphics accelerator. Using Xinerama When the window system is started in Xinerama mode, all windows can be seamlessly moved across screen boundaries, thus creating one large, super high- resolution, virtual display.

    Streaming Methods There are three methods described in this section for streaming video from which to choose with the Sun XVR-1200 graphics accelerator. This section lists the options: Single video output for full performance on a single screen (default) Two video streams over one large frame buffer Two independent video streams The following section, “Setting Up Streaming Methods”...

  • Page 54: Setting Up Streaming Methods

    Setting Up Streaming Methods When there are two Sun XVR-1200 graphics accelerators in a system, they are numbered from 0 and by ones (0, 1, 2, 3, ,...) Setting Up Single Video Output (Default) This enables the first DVI-I port 1 output only. This is the default the system uses if no fbconfig commands have been given, or after fbconfig -dev jfb0 -defaults.

  • Page 55: Setting Up Two Video Streams Over One Large Frame Buffer

    Frame Buffer This enables two monitor support without the use of Xinerama software. This means that the Sun XVR-1200 graphics accelerator creates one wide (or tall) frame buffer, displayed across two screens. To set up two video streams over one frame buffer, do the following: 1.

  • Page 56: Setting Up Two Independent Video Streams

    /dev/fbs/jfb0a -dev /dev/fbs/jfb0b 2. Select an independent screen resolution (and sample density, if desired) for each frame buffer.

  • Page 57: Dynamic Multisample Antialiasing

    16 samples per pixel. This method yields improved images, but at the price of possibly increased render time. The Sun XVR-1200 graphics accelerator has 128 Mbytes of memory for the frame buffer so that the image can be multisampled at up to 16 samples per pixel in a single pass, depending on the resolution.

  • Page 58: Table 5-1 Multisample Options

    “Dual screen” refers to TABLE 1-1 doublewide or doublehigh displays. 3. Log out, then log back in to restart the X window system for the changes to take effect. Sun XVR-1200 Graphics Accelerator Installation and User’s Guide • July 2004...

  • Page 59: Default Color Depth

    When you disable multisampling, no multisample rendering is possible. Only one sample per pixel is allocated, despite any -samples option value. 1.

    You can framelock two or more Sun XVR-1200 graphics accelerator subsystems across one or more computer systems. You can framelock two or more Sun XVR-1200 graphics accelerators through either the DB9 ports or the stereo port. The DB9 port requires DB9 framelock cables and the stereo DIN7 port requires a Y-shaped framelock daisy-chain cable with three connectors.
