How do I do this?
Stick squeeze server details into apt resources list and then
apt-get upgrade
That's the ticket. I guess you are new to Debian. This is not
sparc specific.
- edit /etc/apt/sources.list (change lenny to squeeze or
testing)
- apt-get update
- apt-get upgrade (apt-get install xorg might be enough,
but you might as well upgrade everything)
To upgrade the kernel, do
- apt-get install linux-image (it'll give you a list to
choose from)
Anyway, that's how I do it. I've kept kernel 2.6.26 for
my CD device problem.

Basically, if you are running stable (lenny), I think X should
work if you move to testing (squeeze) along with the newer kernel.
I'm in X on my Ultra 5 right now.
