You are probably better off going forward. I could not get X to work with kernel 2.6.26, but has been working fine with the following configuration and a generic xorg.conf on my ultra 5. $ Xorg -version X.Org X Server 1.6.1.901 (1.6.2 RC 1) Release Date: 2009-5-8 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0 Build Operating System: Linux 2.6.27.2-dsa-usii sparc Debian Current Operating System: Linux ultra5 2.6.30-1-sparc64 #1 Wed Jul 8 01:18:17 UTC 2009 sparc Build Date: 14 May 2009 04:50:27PM xorg-server 2:1.6.1.901-2 (bui...@spontini) The only problem I have with kernel 2.6.30 is with any CD-ROM device, but that's another story.
