Greetings.
I would like to solve a mistery regarding graphical user interface on a Sun
Ultra 10+ Creator3D UPA graphics card, running OpenBSD 6.7/sparc64.
Everything works fine with Solaris 10. Did anybody manage to get X running
on openBSD? Sparc64 support is somehow bogus so I feel that if I talk to
them, there will be no answer.
Here is what I am trying to do and hope will help others:
- installed openBSD on two Sun Ultra 10 machines: one machine full install
(with X packages), the other without X, but xenocara compiled later;
- Configured /etc/X11/xorg.conf as described in attached file 1;
The same issues were observed for both Xorg and xenocara, so I suspect
there's something wrong with sunffb:
- /var/log/Xorg.0.log shows everything is in order (except for a xaa
warning) as described in attached file 2;
- at each startx (without system reboot), X registers a new display :0
:1 :2 :3 and so on. It never falls back to :0 unless I tell it
manually to do so: startx -- :0 - so at this time, for both machines the
attached file 2 is "/var/log/Xorg.10.log" (last X session);
- startx says "Unknown boardID[000000ff], assuming FFB2, DoubleRES,
Z-buffer, Single-buffered.";
- dmesg is shown in attached file 3;
- GUI starts, as confirmed by ps aux;
- Screen becomes white, the previous black text becomes yellow. Window
manager (wmaker) is running;
- if creator0 kernel flag is set to 1 (disable accel), some blue dots
appear instead of yellow text, but still no graphics;
- I tried both default, 28.636 and 29.5 "Option" "ReferenceClock" according
to xorg.conf manual - Xorg.0.log reports this option is never used;
- if I start X11vnc, I can get a vnc client connection but the screen is
white - so I suspect there is some wrong memory mapping: sunffb is using
some bogus memory location while x11vnc is reading from somewhere else.
Did anyone encounter this problem?
Please advise.
Best wishes,
Vasile Buruiana (bvasea!gmail[]com)
