Adding a Raptor GFX video card to a D box at I/A ver 6.4

From Cassandra

Jump to: navigation, search

This procedure is necessary because the proceedure given in Foxboro Manual B0400PT doesn't work at I/A version 6.4.

1. Install the Raptor GFX video card in PCI slot 2 of the D box. This will require carefully folding flat the power and ribbon cables that are normally in the way. Check to ensure that all ribbon cable plugs remain fully seated in the motherboard and HD/CDROM/Floppy.

2. Mount the v6.4 Day 0 CD-ROM and copy GFX driver files: 

    # cd /
    # mount -o ro /dev/dsk/sr0 /cdrom
    # mkdir /opt/pgx32
    # cp /cdrom/targ_plfm/PGX32.Z /opt/pgx32
    # umount /cdrom

3. Uncompress and untar the file: 

    # uncompress /opt/pgx32/PGX32.Z
    # tar xvf /opt/pgx32/PGX32
    # rm -r /opt/pgx32

4. Modify the original installation script on /tmp to run on the hard disk. Remove "/mnt_root" and " -b " as follows: 

    # cd /tmp
    # sed ’s%/mnt_root%%g’ instpgx | sed 's/ -b //' > instpgx.new
    # more instpgx.new

    :
    chmod 644 /kernel/drv/raptor
    chmod 644 /kernel/drv/gfxp
    cp /usr/openwin/server/etc/OWconfig /etc/openwin/server/etc
    cat /etc/openwin/server/etc/OWconfig.gfx >> /etc/openwin/server/etc/OWconfig
    chmod 755 /usr/openwin/server/modules/ddxTSIgfx.so.1
    chmod 755 /etc/dt/config/Xservers.gfx
    chmod 444 /etc/openwin/server/etc/OWconfig.gfx
    chmod 755 /opt/share/man/man1/GFXconfig.1m
    chmod 755 /usr/openwin/bin/gfxres
    chmod 644 /usr/openwin/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers
    chmod 755 /usr/openwin/server/etc/RES.DAT
    chmod 755 /usr/openwin/server/etc/TSIScreenConfig
    chmod 755 /usr/openwin/server/etc/TSIScreenConfig.example
    chmod 644 /usr/openwin/server/etc/gfxres.help
    chmod 755 /usr/sbin/GFXconfig
    chmod 644 /etc/driver_aliases
    chmod 644 /etc/minor_perm
    chmod 644 /etc/name_to_major
    add_drv -m'* 0666 root sys' -i'"TECH-SOURCE,gfxp" "TSI,gfxp"' /kernel/drv/gfxp
    add_drv -m'* 0666 root sys' -i'"TECH-SOURCE,raptor" "TSI,raptor"' /kernel/drv/raptor

5. Run the modified installation script 

    # chmod a+x instpgx.new
    # ./instpgx.new

6. Reboot station: shut down the station to single user mode and reboot with "reboot -- -r".

Note: It is not necessary to install any software from the Raptor GFX CD.
