I bought two old Sunblade 1000 with single 750Mhz cpu from a company in Brussels, and put all RAM, HDD and CPU in one box. Did you ever have any problems with the fans ? Mine seems to fire them up full-speed after the POST, and leave them there, when under Solaris they seem to drop to a more managable (quieter) level). Same here! With Solaris 8 the box is a lot quieter! (I installed it yesterday...) Also, what keyboard type did you use in X ? I'm using a Type 6 keyboard and X seems to recognise it as something wierd. I don't use X (at least not on the sunblade). cheers, pol :) -- Geef verstoten dieren een thuis: http://www.dierenasieltienen.be -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

At all of those resolutions though, there are red pixels on the screen, most notably when moving a window. Hi, There is a possible fix for the red dots problem: please have a look at the last message in 317756 (the patch was probably garbled during transmission, but is simple enough to be applied by hand). Please post the results of your tests to the bug trail. If everything will work out, I'll push this patch into the Debian kernels.

Re: sparc buildd issues
On Wed, 28 Dec 2005, Blars Blarson wrote: In article [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: On a Sparc netra X1, the system partially freezes (some stuff continues running but at least one of the operations necessary to log in gets stuck). The logs show that as of the moment of the freeze, the clock has jumped forward exactly 3 days, 6 hours, 11 minutes and 15 seconds. The change is not gradual; it jumps between syslog marks set a minute apart. This is not what I have seen. It sounds like an unrelated issue. Yeah, I haven't heard about the jumping time issue before. It was reported that it is absent in 2.6.14, could you please test it? If it's really gone, it would be the easiest way out. Regarding the kernel problem which is plaguing the buildds: I think by now it is fair to say that it affects only SMP machines. Furthermore, it looks like it only crashes the machines with SCSI controllers. It has been discussed a while ago on the gentoo-sparc list, archived discussion is available at http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=11196707991r=1w=2 http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=11299903061r=1w=2 There also seems to be a way to crash the kernel by creating heavy disk activity, just by tar'ing, copying and untar'ing big directory trees repeatedly (that's what the crashme script mentioned in these thread does). Today I have received a second CPU for my Ultra60 (thanks a LOT to Clint Adams for providing it), so I'll try to reproduce the failure and poke around to see what I can do about it.
