I'm no authority, but I have been successfully running this combination on my Ultra 5 for some time: X.Org X Server 1.7.7 Release Date: 2010-05-04 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0 Build Operating System: Linux 2.6.32-bpo.5-sparc64-smp sparc Debian Current Operating System: Linux ultra5.localdomain 2.6.32-5-sparc64 #1 Thu Aug 12 15:23:02 UTC 2010 sparc64 Kernel command line: root=UUID=681641d3-5316-4b76-aa30-284b541d47d0 ro Build Date: 15 July 2010 04:58:18PM xorg-server 2:1.7.7-3 (Cyril Brulebois <k...@debian.org>) Also, as I reported here last week: Subject: Re: Daily image builds restored "Installed wheezy using businesscard.iso today (7 Mar.) to Ultra 10 with IDE Cd-Rom and hard drive, then upgraded to kernel 2.6.37 without problem." I haven't installed X yet, but I'll try it and report back. Regards, Howard E. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-sparc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
