Hi Howard! I have a Sun Ultra1/Creator3D sitting next to me right now with Debian installed on it. My first install on it went fine (2.2r1 I believe) - do you have an official Debian CD set ?

AFAIK X 3.3.6 doesn't use an XF86Config file, so whatever is generated will be ignored - it uses the framebuffer device instead. (X 4.0.1 in unstable does use an XF86Config file, which is what I currently use, and I simply downloaded and used an XF86Config file posted to this group a few months back). Which xserver package did you install ? I used xserver-xsun24, and simply issued xinit and everything worked fine. What error messages are printed to the screen when you start X ? Debian runs quite nicely on an Ultra1 though - hope you're able to get it up and running soon. :-) Cheers, Marcus -- ..... ,,$$$$$$$$$, Marcus Crafter ;$' '$$$$: Computer Systems Engineer $: $$$$: Open Software Associates GmbH $ o_)$$$: 82-84 Mainzer Landstrasse ;$, _/\ &&:' 60327 Frankfurt Germany ' /( &&& \_&&&&' Email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] &&&&.
