I am luky to get for free 2 sunfire 280R.
I want to use this 2 280R like gateway for a wireless network in some big's congres for a week or more.
For comodity I want to use X on this machines. To do so I install frame buffer like the model I saw in the sun Full Components List for this machines.
how to startX now? ( to access the 280R by network and work on it with X
and may be some things like VNC)
Is it possible (and needed) to find and install mouse and keybord to work ont the 280R like work station? Where can I find this harware?
Is it necessary to install a new harware card for this?


Have you sat by the 280R yet? Did the fan noise deafen you enough to
think that there's probably a reason that most 280R's don't come with
frame buffers?

Otherwise, with a new enough Solaris install on them, and the correct
packages installed, you should be able to plug any USB keyboard/mouse
in and have X windows startup if its enabled to do so (is by default).


Thanks to answere.
Yes noise is big. I have a small room with all my computers.
We will use this machine for time to time for big show. We are geek association specialised in the wifi for the fun and the "FREE".

Do you said usb keyboard and a usb mouse OR usb keyboard with small round connection for mouse like SUN keyboard and mouse for sparc station?
Do you know setting EEPROM to get usb keyboard and mouse work?

I have to find SUN matérial only?
thanks a lot
