I see it will work in a "professional" pc motherboard like a tyan
and it has XP drivers and normally runs between 2K and 3 K in price. Guess not bad for a 60.00 win... any suggestions as to motherboard I should get to run it??

Well you can always look into a dual AMD Opteron based Tyan board.

Thanx

I really have a great fun with this machine. My only complain about it for now is that once the fastfan mode is triggered (usually after a little hour), it becomes difficult to work with it for a long time.
After I saw neko's hint , I tried to remove the divo, but it still goes to fastfan after an hour or so, no difference here.
Maybe it's time to attempt a (huge) fan mod :lol:

Simple. Buy a floor-standing air-conditioner. De-humidify the air and keep it a constant 68 Fahrenheit. You other workstations will
thank you for the relatively small cooling investment

My internal SCSI CDROM bit the dust a while ago... using an external Plextor DVD-DL on my Octane and Onyx2...
So the system controller and a spare IO6G would be nice to have. Drop me a pm

I might purchase an Origin 2100 or something along those lines.. fit it with an IO6G and a EMXI MGRAS video board I have laying about.

Wrote on the subject of XVR -1000 Solaris 10 3D Acceleration, The Solution, and fix at Jan. 23, 2010, 4:53 a.m...

Right a solution to enabling full OpenGL acceleration under Solaris 10u5 and up.
I've been more than agitated with the lack of answers from sun.com, or locally Sun support.
Then an idea hit me. Why not download the original driver pack located here:
http://www.sun.com/download/index.jsp?cat=Hardware%20Drivers&tab=3
copy to a location on my hard drive and uncompress
and then forcefully install the packages located under the Solaris 9 folder?
I did exactly that, however before we go any further we need to create the following:
Navigate to /var/tmp/ , and create the following file: 'admin' using your favorite text editor ie vi
The file contains the following;

Code:

  mail=
  
  conflict=nocheck
  
  action=nocheck
  
  partial=nocheck
  
  instance=overwrite
  
  idepend=nocheck
  
  rdepend=nocheck
  
  space=check

Then cd to the location where you copied the packages to: and run

Code:

# pkgadd -a /var/tmp/admin -d `pwd`

Next ensure than you have a copy of Xservers in /etc/dt/config/
(BTW ensure than you have the directory config under /etc/dt/)
if not then:

Code:

  # cp /usr/dt/config/Xservers /etc/dt/config
  
  # cd/etc/dt/config
  
  # vi Xservers

Again in this example I'm using Vi, you can use any text editor
( Here's a tutorial for noobs http://www.linode.com/wiki/index.php/Vim_Tutorial )
Next we'll add the following entry to the Xservers file and comment out the previous line

Code:

  -snip-
  
  # This release of Solaris is configured to run the program /usr/X11/bin/Xserver
  
  # to start the X server using configuration options found in the SMF repository
  
  # See the Xserver(1) manual page for more information.
  
  #  :0   Local local_uid@console root /usr/X11/bin/Xserver :0 -nobanner
  
  :0   Local local_uid@console root /usr/openwin/bin/Xsun -dev /dev/fbs/gfb0 defdepth 24

Then simply reboot.

Fire up a terminal window:
use fbconfig -res /? to determine what you can display and then
set a suitable resolution of your choice, however do be careful regarding refresh rates. (ie fbconfig -res 1280x1024x85)

Regards

Ryan

Updating OpenGL adds even more raw performance. It runs really really well.
It sometimes pays to experiment.

Personally I think Mentalray will yield far superior results than software, however
memory/system resource management is crucial in order to prevent Maya from crashing on you.

The idea of a new version for the IRIX platform is pretty darn exciting. Even if it is buggy on VPro graphics subsystems, there is a remote possibility that it might
work on Infinite reality etc... Worth a try if you ask me. ^^

Or would that be too creative for Rackable ?

Hmm so it resembles and over-sized O2 with fart vents ... could pass as a modernized toilet on wheels lol... Rackable does indeed lack creativity

My second Onyx2 was a freebie as well, but was kind of rusty and required many hours of love&cleaning.
As for your refresh rate issue.. I believe you can simply set that directly from the command line via a terminal to something sensible.
No need to reinstall IRIX, if no root password has been set on the machine.. Please just check the man pages on ircombine
and what resolution combinations you have installed.

Yeah the Dallas clock chip is a real nightmare. I can't understand why the heck they didn't simply put a coin battery holder on the board...
Seriously -.- Anyhow I believe this has been discussed in some detail and there are quite a few examples of individuals who were 'brave' enough to resort to hack and slash butchery...

Thankfully these beasts are in an air-conditioned study... However you're right... fast fan mode isn't something to poke fun at.

Welp, I took apart the graphics cards and got at the connections with my can of contact cleaner (which, incidentally, is how I got the machine to begin working properly originally); however, while I had them apart, I noticed something disconcerting - the chips on the underside of the boards, the ones with the little heat-sink-looking things attached to them, are not attached to their pads, or at least many of them are not. They are hanging on barely by perhaps another set of tenuously-connected pins towards the middle.

I shall attempt to solder these down later (the cleaning did not fix the problem); I personally do not have a good soldering station (or very steady hands for that matter ^^; ), but a housemate who is not presently in does. Report to follow.

Yikes! I've rarely seen components pull loose from PCBs. A bit of a concern, makes you wonder how well the machine was maintained.
