The Debian sparc port runs on sparc64[0].  You can download a CD from
cdimage.debian.org.

[0] In fact, that's all it runs on.  32-bit sparc systems are not
supported anymore.

Oh, and on second thought, also it looks like e3d is the signature of the
XVR-500 class driver (drivers/video/sunxvr500.c). That one also matches
devices by PCI subdevice ID (0x0140 or 0x1024) which is probably how you
get it.

dmesg | grep e3d # ?

So it doesn't look like the kernel framebuffer drivers picked it up.
So that should be 3d3d:1047... but from the looks of it, that's not
the detection method on sparc, the driver is just looking for "SUNW,gfb"
in the PROM data.

Can you install sparc-utils and run prtconf -v, and see if anything like
that comes up?

If it helps, I did this with the XVR-600 in my Ultra 60, but the
output stops with:

[0.00] OF stdout device is: /p...@1f,2000/SUNW,xvr-...@1

I am able to ssh into the machine.

You might want to search the mailing list archives for these 
subjects:

"X on Ultra5 with Debian Lenny 5.0.3"
"configure ati chipset for Sun ultra 5"

I believe it is a question of getting the right combination of
newer kernel and Xorg.

I don't have any... other than uploading the binary I built on smetana.
Should I do that?
