Preface
- This manual, Platform Notes: SPARCstation 10SX and SPARCstation 20, describes the machine-dependent functionalities of the Solaris(R) 2.x graphics and window system APIs (Application Program Interfaces) such as XGL(TM)(2-D and 3-D Graphics Library), XIL(TM) (X Imaging Library), and Xlib, as related to the SX video subsystem. In addition, this document describes configuring and tuning the SX video subsystem to enhance the performance of the applications using the XGL and XIL APIs.
- This document should be used as an addendum to the Solaris 2.x document set and the SPARCstation 10SX Hardware Owner's Guide or SPARCstation 20 Hardware Owner's Guide.
