Hi, about the video drivers problem, laptops are often a big bet, you may need to play with the
bios to let it show its hardware differently. AFAIK the last resort should be a bare vga driver.
You will not have hardware-managed graphics, but it works fine anyway.
Does OI work on them?
About AI and SunRay, I have personally no expertise on them, maybe someone else on the list
can help?
BTW, please use also the mailing list for this matters, as you may get more answers ;)
Gabriele.

Re: [discuss] XStream Desktop beta EA1
Hi again Gabriele.
Had a bit more of a play. Ended up scripting my finish script.
I had XStreamOS running in a virtual box without issues, so tried to install it on bare metal. Unfortunately, what I have available is a Lenovo T410 and a Toshiba Portege R700-194. Both of these failed miserably on display drivers. I know the Lenovos are quite hit and miss with display drivers anyway and I never tried the Toshiba with anything before today (I sort of acquired these on long-term loan, also know as, I got hold of them before they went into the crusher because the staff that had them left).
Having installed XStreamOS, I then tried to install Sun Ray on them. I had to work around a few things and eventually got stuck with the Sun Ray software saying there were no displays available.
google searches didn't reveal anything (and I'm getting tired now). I disabled lxdm as that was obviously complaining that it didn't work. But I don't think this should prevent the Sun Ray software from working.
Won't have a chance to have a look at this until probably about a week's time now, but if you have any experience with Sun Ray software, I would appreciate any insights you might have into why XStreamOS wouldn't play nice with it...
(I suspect installing it on XStreamOS is probably illegal, I'm currently calling it practising, but wouldn't want that on the public internet, hence the private email).
Thanks again for all your efforts.
Ciao,
Eric

Hi Gabriele.
Before I go playing around with this further....
What are my chances of getting this to work with a Solaris 11 AI server? I.e. I use the bootable Solaris 11 AI to install XStreamOS Desktop? What would the package be that I would need to install (I checked and "entire" which it would be for Solaris isn't there, so presumably it's something else, but there were several potential candidates)?
Great work.
Thanks.

Hi,
anyone interested can download the first early access release of XStream Desktop, illumos based.
Please read the instructions for virtualized environements (vbox an vmware):
http://www.sonicle.com/index.jsp?pagename=xstreamos-desktop&parent;products&language=en
We will be very pleased to receive any feedback, comments and/or requests you may provide,
by registering and using the mailing list stated at the end of the page.
We've been already told that the SF mailman is not exactly a good place.
We will be setting up our own installation of GNU mailman and notify about the change.
Feel free to suggest a different solution for this.
Next step, other than fixing and adding features, will be to publish the sources repository.
Hope you enjoy it!
Gabriele.
