No Compatible Display Card for SPARC64

[tifasoftware]

I have tried all 3 SPARC64 machine types and all display cards in an attempt to run Solaris 10. All of the display card dont war and it says "unknown vga type"

In console QEMU it displays

UTM 4.3.5

Can you provide a working command for QEMU with VGA working?

[tifasoftware]

qemu-system-sparc64 -vga std

After some further research Operating Systems supported by SPARC64 that work best on the Niagara machine, require the -nographic option.

Thanks, can you provide the entire command and possibly a boot image so I can test?

qemu-system-sparc64 -nographic -cdrom /Users/jesse/Downloads/sunsolaris10operatingsystem1106x86sparc/SOL_10_1106_SPARC.mdf -L /Users/jesse/Downloads/OpenSPARCT1_Arch.1.5/S10image -drive if=pflash,readonly=on,file=/Users/jesse/Downloads/OpenSPARCT1_Arch.1.5/S10image/disk.s10hw2 -m 8192 -M niagara

OpenSparc Solaris 10

Now QEMU doesn't provide good graphical support for 64-bit SPARC systems, just the 32-bit ones. The best results that will come from emulating SPARC64 Solaris 10 will be outputted from Serial Console.

You use “-nographic” here but your original issue is with display card compatibility…

I opened the issue before I realized QEMU didn't support all of that, my apologies. I guess close this issue and reopen it whenever display support is implemented to work on Solaris 10.On Sep 2, 2023, at 1:16 AM, osy @.***> wrote: You use “-nographic” here but your original issue is with display card compatibility…

Note that you can achieve the same nographics result if you remove the display device and add a serial one.
