installing programs and hardware

807557Nov 4 2005 — edited Nov 8 2005
I have a sunsparc Utra10 elite 3d system that has 512 megs of memory and I installed a 20 gig Western Digital HDD that went in flawlessly. The m3 video card didn't work due to something broken off of the card and I bought another one off of ebay. I placed the card in it's slot and the onboard video was inoperable. i used a sun to vga connector to connect my compaq 7550 monitor but it was inoperable as well. I changed the jumper that is directly above the video card and it was still inoperable. If I have the m3 video card in, the onboard video does not work, but when I take the card out, the onboard video works. How do I install the video card and make it work? Is there something I am overlooking?

Also, how do I install programs like firefox 1.5b2? I really want to learn how to use Solaris, but I can't find any books or on-line help that is truly useful.
