* Ottavio Campana [EMAIL PROTECTED] [000920 00:04]: so I should change framebuffer, right? Which cheap but good in the same time would you suggest me? Unfortunately, there is no cheap choice for you. The cg6 line is the most common, and the only ways to have 24-bit graphics on an SS10 is either: a) if you have an SS10SX (rare), then get the VSIMM for drive the built-in framebuffer. If you don't have an SS10SX, this is not an option. b) Get a Leo, also known as the ZX or TurboXZ... but these cards normally sell for about $300US and don't perform half as decent as something on an x86. You best choices for a SPARC with 24-bit graphics are a Leo, an SS20 with the VSIMM for the cg14, an SS5 with a S24 framebuffer, or an UltraSPARC with a Creator framebuffer (or better).

Perhaps forcing the ttya/b-mode on the PROM, or with `eeprom`, might perhaps(?) help as well, if your modem supports the speeds you set it to. The modem definitely supports 115200. Not sure about anything higher than that, but I don't plan on going any higher. I cranked ttya-mode to 115200,8,n,1,- and rebooted, but wvdial still won't play at higher than 38400, so I've gone back to pppd/chat. This only has to last until my DSL comes in, so I guess that I can live without wvdial's convenience. :) I think the Ultra5 uses a sab82532 for the serial line. This chip is used in nearly all Ultras or Clones I know of and cannot more than 38400. So even if you modem can 115200, your SPARC cannot do it.

So even if you modem can 115200, your SPARC cannot do it. Have you even looked at the sab82532 driver? No, I only know if you configure the serial console faster then 38400 with this chip, the PROM will fallback to 9600. Maybe the chip and linux driver can configure it faster, but this doesn't help me very much.

Identifying monitor for XF86Config ?
Hi All, Well, finally got my hands on a Sun Ultra 1 which I've had immense fun with over the past couple of days! The Debian installation went fine, I'm really impressed with it. Last night I started to configure X, however I had one problem. I don't know the vert and horiz refresh rate of my (Sun) monitor, nor the amount of video ram on my card (Creator 3D). I've got X up and running with a borrowed configuration from a friend - but I don't know if it's optimal or not. The only thing I can say about the monitor is that its an original 20 Sun monitor with model number GDM 20D10. (If there's some other way of identifying it please let me know). Does anyone know the refresh rates ? or have an XF86Config file that I could look at ?

I filed a bug report. Does anyone have any suggestions for things to try to find the problem, which I assume is SPARC-specific? I'm using a basically potato system with a few unstabilities. M14 worked OK and I zapped .mozilla for M17.
can a adaptec 2930u2 run on a ultra5 using debian
Hello I know that an adaptec 2930u2 can not run on a ultra running solaris, but can it run on a ultra running debian? John
