Sun Check Tool 1.3

Posted by Michael Larabel on October 05, 2007

If you're curious about Solaris/OpenSolaris support on your computer hardware, Sun's Check Tool 1.3 is now available. Check Tool 1.3 is an update to the previously reviewed Check Tool 1.2, but adds the Solaris 10 8/07 kernel, X.Org driver detection for video devices, and an updated driver database. Previous to this 11/06 kernel upgrade, Sun's Check Tool had used the Solaris 10 11/06 kernel. The X.Org driver detection now makes it possible to detect what X.Org driver you'll need for your graphics hardware. More information on the x86 Installation Check Tool is available at the BigAdmin HCL.
