Introduction 1.1. Project/Component Working Name: EOF of cg6 graphics support 1.2. Name of Document Author/Supplier: Author: Alan Coopersmith 1.3 Date of This Document: 30 July, 2008 4. Technical Description This case announces the EOF of, and removes, the support for the cg6 graphics card in Solaris. The cg6 driver & Xsun DDX module supported the Sbus graphics cards sold under the names GX, GXplus, TurboGX, and TurboGXplus. According to Sun's FRU EOL database, the last of these cards sold had its last ship date in 1999, and its End of Service Life for the hardware in 2004. Since this case only removes support from an upcoming minor or greater release of Solaris, and Solaris 10 end of support is not likely to happen until 2014 or later, this will give purchasers of this card at least 15 years of software support. For users who still want to use their cards on future releases, the cg6 kernel driver source has been released as part of OpenSolaris, the cg6 Xsun driver source was released in the past as the reference device in the Xsun DDK, and an open source driver for the Xorg server is available from X.Org. This case delivers in two phases: 1) In a patch release, announces the obsolesence of and future removal plans for, cg6 support. 2) In a minor release, removes the following: From the ON consolidation: The entire SUNWcg6u package: /platform/sun4u/kernel/drv/sparcv9/cgsix The entire SUNWcg6h package: /usr/include/sys/cg6reg.h /usr/include/sys/cg6var.h From the SUNWhea package: /usr/include/sys/cg6fbc.h /usr/include/sys/cg6tec.h /usr/include/sys/cg6thc.h From the X consolidation: From the SUNWxsun-server package: /usr/openwin/server/modules/ddxSUNWcg6.so.1 From the Docs consolidation: From the SUNWman package: /usr/share/man/man7d/cgsix.7d (Given the cross-consolidation nature of this removal, these may be removed in separate builds of each consolidation.) 6.
