I've got a SunPCi II pro card (733 MHz Celeron) which I've had a year
or more. It has always worked fine. The card has 1 Gb of RAM and had
only Word open. The Sun Ultra 80 has Solaris 9 release 4, four CPUs, 4
Gb of RAM and had little more than Netscape and the sunpci process
running. In other words, nothing was exactly stressed.

Tonight it crashed with:

sparrow /export/home/davek % SunPCXallocID: Xlib resource ID
allocation space exhausted!
X Window System Error: (video95)
BadIDChoice (invalid resource ID chosen for this connection)
Serial = 178705144 (0x0aa6d2f8)
ResourceID = 268435456 (0x10000000)
Major Opcode = 55 (0x00000037) - X_CreateGC
Minor Opcode = 0 (0x00000000)
Error code = 14 (0x0000000e)
*** Exit SunPCi ***

I can't seem to figure out what version of the driver software I have,
as there seems no -V or -v option to determine this. It was the latest
when I installed the card, but I've not updated it since.

I would add I removed the fan from the SunPCi card several months ago,
but that has never seemed to have any effect on the card. Looking at
the error message above, it would seem this is an X issue and nothing
to do with the Celeron chip on the card.

Any thoughts???

david,

try running 'pkginfo -l SUNWspci2' to get the specific version of your
sunpci driver software. if you're not running version 2.3.2, you may
want to upgrade as sun added a few bug fixes to this release.

I'm not sure if this is the same error I've encountered in the past but
I recall that if I had say hilighted some text and grapgics in netscape and
used the copy key and then went to the SunPCI window and issued a paste I
would get it to crash. And I've got version 2.3.2 od SUNWspci2 installed.
