If not, I will close this bug in the > next weeks. The DFSG versions of xfree86 have had this problem with onboard ATI in the SunBlade 100. (This also exists xserver-xorg. A new problem is that fbdev crashes kernel so you must try xorg without using fbdev to avoid crashing system, but still get a blank screen.) The sarge SB100 has xfree86. Please, leave open so I can take this off hold and repost to same bug number with new version. I have a patch in kernel-source-2.6.8/arch/sparc64/kernel/pci.c for old 4.2.1-12.1. So try newer xserver-xfree86 on kernel without it too. (The etch SB100 is headless. I'll check my other posts re xorg and kernel later. I don't know ATI PCI with PC x86 firmware can be used. Will try this in headless etch machine first after current versions of xserver and a kernel that does not crash. Lack of a reset button is a serious problem on the SB100 as I can not enter firmware with L1-A and there is no panic for an automatic restart. Will see if 'software wachdog' can cause a panic that would otherwsie be a hang.) > > Thanks, > Brice > > -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
