Right, the 1g has no video input. It had to go to make room for the
1g's DVI-I connector and circuitry which lets you drive digital
signals to a flat panel. VGA signals for analog monitors are still
there, the 1g comes with a DVI-to-VGA adapter that presents the VGA
pinout.

How did one take advantage of the video input? Was it for streaming
video back to the server, or for local display on the Sun Ray 1? If the
latter, did it require the connection to the server in order to work?
Let me know if you find out. I'm not aware of any way to use it.
Maybe that's why it was deleted.
Could it be used to display DVDs from my DVD player, or live images from
my video camera?
I was thinking of picking up a Sun Ray, on the grounds that it would be
rather quiet. I had though the extra video estate of the 1g might be
worth the extra cash, but then again, the video input might also be
quite a good thing.
Has anyone tried running one of these things off a Sun Fire V100? I
don't expect it to be super, but will it manage? Thought I might put
the V100 in a cupboard far away where I couldn't hear it...
FWIW, I have three of them running on a dual-300 Ultra 2, and they
seem just fine to me. Perhaps I'm not very demanding, though --
mostly I word process, browse the Internet, and listen to music with
them.

How is listening to music on your 'Ray? On mine with XMMS it would
skip all the time.
Thanks

You need to add
set autoup=240
to /etc/system and reboot. |

there was never any use for the video in AFAIK, so no tears thats its gone.
The video input was supported for SunForum so you could videoconference |
using the SunRay. I used it a couple of times and it seemed to work OK
if you had an NTSC composite video source like a camcorder or some
digital cameras.
Assume the USB 2.0 support is beefed up, the 1g can probably use a
webcam on the local USB bus for that purpose.
