Friends, I'm in the unfortunate position of being asked to help a remote-office coworker who is having problems with image generation on Solaris. Our product currently runs on Linux, and it uses Xvfb as a frame buffer wherein we can dynamically generate images using Java. We run Xvfb like this: Xvfb :30 -screen 0 640x480x8 -fp unix/:7100 My question is this: Other than using Xvfb, is there a way on Solaris to generate images, ESPECIALLY since this will be a server-side application with no video display available? I seem to recall that solaris has a built-in (read:native) frame buffer, but I don't have access to the box to poke around... Hope this makes sense, hope someone has ideas! Thanks in advance.

Ed, I hate to say "RTFM" but it took me twenty seconds to go to developer.sun.com and do a search, to find this article: http://developers.sun.com/solaris/articles/solaris_graphics.html That ought to do it for you. Luser. Ok, seriously, I've looked at developer.sun.com before and NEVER found this info (no, I'm really not a moron), so, well, there you have it. Answered my own question. Carry on!
