I have an Ultra 5 with a pgx32 PCI graphics card attached to a known-good
keyboard/mouse and a known-good monitor and running Solaris 10 downloaded
about 3 weeks ago. I have no serial access to it and no suitable devices to
set up serial access.
It runs nicely, but after something like a day's uptime neither keyboard nor
mouse movement will cause the display to wake up. It remains on standby, and
only wakes up when I log in via ssh (showing the OS is all up and running
nicely) and perform a shutdown. Then the monitor comes back to life and I can
watch the glorious shutdown messages.
1) Anyone heard of this or similar problem, or have a solution?
2) The built-in graphics output is disabled and outputs nothing, and the
machine won't start with the PGX32 removed from its PCI slot. Anyone know how
to re-enable that built-in output before I remove the PCI card, so I can see
if that's the problem?
I'd like to deploy the machine as a small server, but can't risk it until I
can crack this.
Thanks, will summarise, snippet of dmesg and uname output follows:
