Hi DGPickett, thank you very much for your reply,
Yes, I ran the ogl_install_check from a terminal in CDE.
I think my $DISPLAY is correctly exported as the "env" command gives me this output
DISPLAY=:0.0
Also, I ran truss ogl_install_check on both systems, but the output were so huge, that I decided to don't put it here.
BTW, I looked at these outputs, and couldn't find something wrong. Let me know if you want me to put these outputs in this thread.
Also, I've just reinstalled the whole system with Cadds. The computer is now clean. (it's a CD set that has Solaris 8 & Cadds provided)
BTW, let me know if you need more details about my configuration.
Thanks a lot in advance,
Regards,

Hi there, me again :).
So, I've tried many things. First, you'll see below packages I have for OpenGL and my XVR-1200 graphic card.
pkginfo | egrep -i "XVR-1200"
application SUNWjfbcf Sun XVR-1200 and XVR-600 Graphics Configuration Software (64-bit)
system SUNWjfbmn Sun XVR-1200 and XVR-600 Graphics On-line Manual Pages
system SUNWjfbr Sun XVR-1200 and XVR-600 Graphics System Software (Root) (64-bit)
application SUNWjfbw Sun XVR-1200 and XVR-600 Graphics Window System Support (64-bit)
system SUNWjfbx Sun XVR-1200 and XVR-600 Graphics System Software/Device Driver (64-bit)
pkginfo | egrep -i "OpenGL"
application SUNWafbgl Sun OpenGL for Solaris Elite3D Support
application SUNWafbgx Sun OpenGL for Solaris 64-bit Elite3D Support
application SUNWffbgl Sun OpenGL for Solaris Creator Graphics (FFB) Support
application SUNWffbgx Sun OpenGL for Solaris 64-bit Creator Graphics (FFB) Support
application SUNWgfbgl Sun OpenGL for Solaris Gfb Support
application SUNWgfbgx Sun OpenGL for Solaris 64-bit Gfb Support
application SUNWglh Sun OpenGL for Solaris Header Files
application SUNWglrt Sun OpenGL for Solaris Runtime Libraries
application SUNWglrtu Sun OpenGL for Solaris Platform Specific Runtime Libs
application SUNWglrtx Sun OpenGL for Solaris 64-bit Runtime Libraries
application SUNWglsr Sun OpenGL for Solaris Runtime Generic Software
application SUNWglsrx Sun OpenGL for Solaris 64-bit Optimized SW Rasterizer
application SUNWglsrz Sun OpenGL for Solaris Optimized SW Rasterizer
application SUNWifbgl Sun OpenGL for Solaris Expert3D/Expert3D-Lite/XVR-500 Graphics Support
application SUNWifbgx Sun OpenGL for Solaris 64-bit Expert3D/Expert3D-Lite/XVR-500 Graphics Support
So, according to packages that are installed, it seems everything is OK and should work (IMHO).
Also, I've tried according to that page to do...
chmod 666 /dev/mouse /dev/kbd /dev/sound/* /dev/fbs/*
... to get DGA access.
Unfortunately, it didn't work.
To be honest, I don't know what is wrong with this configuration, and unfortunately, looking for "glXMakeCurrent Error: Can't make context current" in Google didn't helped a lot.
Also, while DGPickett was talking about DISPLAY export, I have tried to use x forwarding through another computer (Windows, using Putty and Xming).
And, the output, when I try to run a graphical application is:
Cannot open connection to window server: localhost:10.0 (Server package)
And nothing appears.
But, when I do it on another computer (still from Windows using Putty & Xming), it works perfectly.
Also, just noticed that I have this in my ~/.dt/errorlog file
Workspace Manager: I/O error on display:: :0.0
So, I think DGPickett may have spotted a problem on my configuration related to DISPLAY export.
But, now the question is : How to fix it?
Any suggestion is welcome, and as usual, if you need more details about some configuration files, just ask, I'll be please to give you more details.
Thanks again a lot in advance

Hi again guys :). Sorry to give you details post by post, day after day, but as Solaris 8 is new to me, it takes me longer to accumulate informations.
So, first, you'll see below what graphic card is installed in my SunBlade 1500-red
/usr/sbin/prtconf -F
/pci@1f,700000/SUNW,XVR-1200@3:jfb0
Also, I have the Cadds documentation (available here if you want) which helps to set up Solaris for a good use of Cadds.
Here are few things
-
First, they talk about XVR-1200. That means, it should be compatible.
-
Page 3-33, they talk on how to set up the XVR-xxxx adaptors.
This is exactly what I've done (enabled -defoverlay), but the problem persists.
You'll see below my full graphic configuration
fbconfig -prconf

Still can't see anything wrong.
Also, I finally manage to launch Cadds from terminal, and here is where I have an issue.
CADDS 5i Release 12.0
Copyright 2001 blablabla
Cannot associate OpenGL context with window
Double Buffering No Supported
Cannot associate OpenGL context with window
Double Buffering No Supported
Cannot associate OpenGL context with window

... and then it launches correctly, but without 3D acceleration, based on X11 output where it should use OpenGL
Is it possible that the graphic card is faulty?
Any suggestion on what I should try/test.
Please, let me know if you need more details.
Thanks a lot in advance
