dtlogin question
2007-12-24 21:14:00
On an E4500 with 6 CPUs, 6 GB of RAM, running Solaris 7, we have several
Sun Rays attached via 3 switches. We have a problem with the dtlogin
process using a large chunk of the CPU time. We have a 450 running Solaris
2.6 that is connected to about the same number of Sun Rays via 3 switches.
Its dtlogin process does not chew up CPU time like the 4500. On the 4500,
the Xerrors file gives what may be a clue to figuring out what the problem
is. It repeatedly reports an error that says that it can not open the
/dev/fb file. True enough, this file doesn't exist on the 4500. I did a
"man -k fb" and looked at the /etc/devlink.tab file in order to see what
this file does. All of the information I got is framebuffer related, so I
assume the file is for a framebuffer. However, the E4500 does not have a
framebuffer installed. Is /dev/fb a file that should be present on every
Solaris 7 box? If so, do you know what OS package contains it? If not,
then is it possible to break the relationship between CDE and /dev/fb?
Thanks.
