I managed to get IP address assigned to this machine from DHCP server, logged in via ssh and looked at the logs. Looks like X server has problems configuring framebuffer device. So I generated xorg.conf manually with 'X -configure' and it thinks I have 3 cards: Identifier Card0 Driver mach64 BusID PCI:1:2:0 Identifier Card1 Driver fbdev BusID PCI:1:2:0 Identifier Card2 Driver vesa BusID PCI:1:2:0 This looks wrong to me, one of them should be using sunffb driver. And why all three drivers refer to the same BusID? I tried copying this file to /etc/X11/xorg.conf and leaving only Identifier Card1 Driver sunffb BusID PCI:1:2:0 But still can't get X11 running Any ideas? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-amd64-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Problems with X11 on Ultra10
Hello, I'm new to Debian and trying it out on Ultra10 which has Creator3D framebuffer. I installed Debian stable and seem to be having some issues with X11 or display manager. The system boots OK and I can see boot messages, but when it goes to start display manager the screen goes black and nothing happens. No windows, no mouse cursor, nothing.
