Solaris (Intel Platform Edition) Driver Update 2 Contents of Driver Update 2 This Driver Update contains this README file, a copyright file, and the following subdirectories: * drivers, which contains self-extracting archives that can be executed in the Solaris operating environment (*.x86) and in Microsoft Windows (*.exe): Archive Name Description devcfg12.x86 Device Configuration Assistant image (devcfg12.bin) du2du.x86 Driver Update Images (du2d1.bin, du2d2.bin, du2d3.bin) du2vati.x86 Video DU image (ATI drivers) (du2vati.bin) du2vnbk.x86 Video DU image (notebook drivers) (du2vnbk.bin) du2vmat.x86 Video DU image (Matrox drivers) (du2vmat.bin) du2vcir.x86 Video DU image (Cirrus drivers) (du2vcir.bin) du2vs3.x86 Video DU image (S3 drivers) (du2vs3.bin) __________ ______________________________________________________ devcfg12.exe Device Configuration Assistant image (devcfg12.bin) du2du.exe Driver Update Images (du2d1.bin, du2d2.bin, du2d3.bin) du2vati.exe Video DU image (ATI drivers) (du2vati.bin) du2vnbk.exe Video DU image (notebook drivers) (du2vnbk.bin) du2vmat.exe Video DU image (Matrox drivers) (du2vmat.bin) du2vcir.exe Video DU image (Cirrus drivers) (du2vcir.bin) du2vs3.exe Video DU image (S3 drivers) (du2vs3.bin) The following table describes the executables to run to extract the appropriate archive or archives. __________________________________________________________________________ Executable Name You need to run this executable if... ____________ _____________________________________________________________ devcfg12.x86 Installing the Solaris operating environment using the Driver Update diskettes. * NOTE: You'll also need to run the driver and/or video driver executables listed below if you are installing the Solaris operating environment using the Driver devcfg12.exe Update diskettes. ____________ _______________________________________________________________________________ du2du.x86 Adding new drivers to an existing Solaris system. du2vati.x86 * NOTE: You do not need to run the boot executable listed above if you are adding new drivers to an existing Solaris system. du2vnbk.x86 * NOTE: For Video drivers, you need only install the archive for the particular driver you need. du2vmat.x86 du2vcir.x86 du2vs3.x86 du2du.exe du2vati.exe du2vnbk.exe du2vmat.exe du2vcir.exe du2vs3.exe ----------------------------------------------------------------------- * images subdirectory, which contains raw boot, driver, and video driver diskette images, and a README file that describes how to use the dd.exe utility to copy diskette images to diskettes. The self-extracting mechanism used in this release is new, and hopefully more efficient and easier for you to use. If, however, you have problems extracting diskette images with this new mechanism, follow the directions in the README file in the drivers/images subdirectory to create your diskette images. Please also contact your Sun Software Support Provider to report the problem. These diskette images are identical to the diskettes that are produced by executing the self-extracting archives and should only to be used if you have difficulty with the self-extracting archives. * doc, which contains: * Release Notes for Solaris 2.6 x86 (Intel Platform Edition) Driver Update 2 in ASCII text format: * relnotes.txt^M * Solaris 2.6 (Intel Platform Edition) Driver Update 2 Guide in Postscript and PDF formats: * du2.ps * du2.pdf * Solaris 2.6 (Intel Platform Edition) Video Driver Update 2 in Postscript and PDF formats: * du2vid.ps * du2vid.pdf * Solaris 2.6 (Intel Platform Edition) Hardware Compatibility List in Postscript and PDF formats: * hclpdf.ps * hclpdf.pdf * Solaris 2.6 (Intel Platform Edition) Device Reference Manual in Postscript and PDF formats: * du2drpdf.ps * du2drpdf.pdf * tools, which contains two PDF reader utilities--one for use in the Solaris operating environment and the other for use on Microsoft Windows 95. Extracting Diskette Images in the Solaris Operating Environment 1. Have enough blank diskettes ready for the number of diskette images you plan to extract. 2. Run the executable for each archive you want to extract: o devcfg12.x86 to extract the three boot diskette images o du2du.x86 to extract the three driver diskette images o one or more of the video archives (remember, you need only install the archive for the particular video driver you need): + du2vati.x86 to extract the ATI video driver diskette image + du2vnbk.x86 to extract the notebook driver diskette image + du2mat.x86 to extract the Matrox video driver diskette image + du2vcir.x86 to extract the Cirrus video driver diskette image + du2vs3.x86 to extract the S3 video driver diskette image 3. Follow the instructions and prompts displayed on your screen. 4. Follow the instructions in Solaris 2.6 (Intel Platform Edition) Driver Update 2 Guide or Video Driver Update 2 Guide to install the drivers you want from the diskettes. If you have problems extracting diskette images, follow the directions in the README file in the drivers/images subdirectory to create your diskette images. Extracting Diskette Images on Microsoft Windows 1. Have enough blank diskettes ready for the number of diskette images you plan to extract. 2. Run the executable for each archive you want to extract: o devcfg12.exe to extract the three boot diskette images o du2du.exe to extract the three driver diskette images o one or more of the video archives (remember, you need only install the archive for the particular video driver you need): + du2vati.exe to extract the ATI video driver diskette image + du2vnbk.exe to extract the notebook driver diskette image + du2mat.exe to extract the Matrox video driver diskette image + du2vcir.exe to extract the Cirrus video driver diskette image + du2vs3.exe to extract the S3 video driver diskette image 3. Follow the instructions and prompts displayed on your screen. 4. Follow the instructions in Solaris 2.6 (Intel Platform Edition) Driver Update 2 Guide or Video Driver Update 2 Guide to install the drivers you want from the diskettes. If you have problems extracting diskette images, follow the directions in the README file in the drivers/images subdirectory to create your diskette images. Extracting Documentation from the distribution CD 1. Copy the document in the format you want from the CD to your machine. 2. If you want to view the PDF files, and don't already have a PDF reader utility on your machine, copy one from the CD's /tools directory. 3. Open and read the file with a PostScript or PDF reader utility or print the PostScript file on a PostScript-compatible printer.
