Nothing should mess with xorg.conf on upgrades, so any modification you make will be respected. The DefaultDepth directive in the Screen section is probably what you want. xorg.conf does get rewritten by an apt-get upgrade on x86 Lenny, and I've certainly seen that happen on SPARC with older versions. I know that DefaultDepth is what I want, but what I don't know is why the installer is setting it to the default 24 for hardware that doesn't have that capability. -- Mark Morgan Lloyd markMLl .AT. telemetry.co .DOT. uk [Opinions above are the author's, not those of his employers or colleagues] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-sparc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

The answer is to I couldn't remember the error message off-hand, as I haven't seen it in the past month or so, but that is the problem that I had. I'm guessing it's likely this would be the same problem that Chris was having, but this is just a guess... manually install the package with the new GPG keys (having first verified, through other means, that they are correct, etc. etc.). As to why this isn't a problem with some mirrors - I guess it depends on if the mirror is signed or not. Not signed, not a problem. Which are Okay. I'll look into that, if I end up with the same problems again. signed, of the top of my head I don't know, I guess it may have something to do with how they where created (i.e. if they are Debian mirrors or 3rd party mirrors). I often had problems with the Australian mirror. Switching to the UK or French mirror seemed to solve the problem. I don't know what mirrors are run by whom, though. gavin, -- There is more simplicity in the man who eats caviar on impulse than in the man who eats Grape-Nuts on principle. -- G.K.

Unfortunately the suncg6 driver doesn't seem to do that quite right; we have a fix sitting in git since November 2007, but it looks like that was never uploaded. *sigh*. I'll try to get that fixed, thanks for pointing it out. Cheers, Julien -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-sparc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Just for the record: debian-installer is not responsible for that. The X.Org configuration is created by the X.Org packages themselves. Julian has already responded so it may no longer be needed, but if you would want to file a bug report about this, then please do so against X.Org and not against debian-installer.
