Hello, I just installed Debian on an ultra5, but I have some trouble configuring the monitor. It is a fixed frequency monitor like most older Sun monitors, a gdm-1962b. I have used it for a short time with Solaris 9, worked nicely. The console also works. Unfortunately, I can't get Xfree86 to work. The image looks like total crap if I use the frequencies described in the monitor's manual (which are:
Vertical refresh rate : 60-85 Hz Horizontal Scan rate: 60- 80 KHz (Kilo Hetrz). Default set to 72Khz Using either the range or the fixed setting for HorizSync. Anyone who uses such a monitor? Oh yes, the frame buffer is a mach64 type with a hd15 output, but capable of fixed-frequency output (I use an adaptor, worked out of the box with Solaris).
