Kernel configs all a bit messed up

2007-05-25 Thread andrew holway

Hi, at http://merkel.debian.org/~jurij/ the kernel configs are not all
where they should be.

for instance the

Version: sparc 2.6.18-8 page at
http://merkel.debian.org/~jurij/2.6.18-8/sparc/ contains kernel
configs for 2.6.18-3

Cheers

Andy

p.s. please let me know if I'm just being dumb

No, they are fine. The package for sparc64 has the name  
linux-2.6.18-3-sparc64.
Note that 3 is a part of a name of the package, while 2.6.18-8 is its  
Debian version

(that can be confusing, but should be described in the kernel handbook).
3 in this case specifies the binary compatibility level, so that we  
know, for example,
that binary modules for kernel linux-2.6.18-3-sparc64 will *not* work  
with

linux-2.6.18-4-sparc64.

Jurij.

X server fails to start after netinstall of Etch on Ultra 60

2007-05-25 Thread Steve Jones
I did a fresh netinstall of Etch on my Ultra 60 with Elite3D graphics
and 21 Sun CRT monitor.  All worked well when I did this on a PC
using the same Sun monitor.  However, on the Ultra 60 the X server
fails to start.

The installation program seems to have detected the graphics card
correctly.  Below is an excerpt from my /etc/X11/xorg.conf.  The
Monitor section is identical on the PC, except on the PC the
HorizSync and VertRefresh lines are absent.

Can anyone advise me on how to get the X server working?


Section Device
Identifier  Sun Elite3D framebuffer or similar (SUNW,XXX-
)
Driver  sunffb
Option  UseFBDev  true
EndSection

Section Monitor
Identifier  Generic Monitor
Option  DPMS
HorizSync   28-51
VertRefresh 43-60
EndSection
