8 SMCC Release Notes Supplement Solaris 2.6 • September 1997
Direct Xlib
Direct Xlib™ is obsolete and is not included in this Solaris 2.6 release.
Use the Sun Shared Memory Transport Extension (SUN_SME) with Standard Xlib for
comparable Xlib performance (refer to the Xsun manual page for details). SUN_SME
does not use Direct Graphics Access (DGA); therefore, it does not generate the
overhead and limitations as compared to using Direct Xlib. SUN_SME is supported
on all SMCC platforms.
SPARCstorage Array — ssacli(1M)
Command Obsolete
The ssacli(1M) command is obsolete and is not included in this release of
Solaris 2.6.
Use the ssaadm(1M) command for SPARCstorage™ Array administrative
management. For more information on using ssaadm(1M), see Platform Notes: Using
the Standard SPARCstorage Array Software manual in the Solaris 2.6 on Sun Hardware
AnswerBook set.
NeWSprint and NeWSprint-Based Printers
NeWSprint™ software is not supported in this release of Solaris 2.6. With the
exception of Japan and Korea, NeWSprint entered End-of-Life in June 1995. Japan
and Korea have temporarily continued shipping NeWSprint because of special
circumstances.
NeWSprint was used to adapt third-party printers to the Sun environment and to
support printers sold by Sun. Sun printers that used NeWSprint include:
■ SPARCprinter™
■ SPARCprinter II
■ NeWSprinter™ 20
■ NeWSprinter CL+
You cannot install these printers on systems that run the Solaris 2.6 operating
system.
