Re: Please test 2.6.29-5
Hi all. Today, after linux-image-2.6.29-2-sparc64_2.6.29-5_sparc.deb, that works without apparently problems, I dowloaded: linux-image-2.6.29-2-sparc64-smp_2.6.29-5_sparc.deb. This too works regularly on my blade 1000. If this helps ...

Problem with resolution

The frame buffer handbook shows what resolutions the afb supports --- search for 816-3582-11 at http://docs.sun.com and download the latest. Hi. The problem isn't in OBP setting, but in the fb's setting in linux. mode 1152x900 geometry 1152 900 1152 900 32 timings 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 accel true rgba 8/0,8/8,8/16,0/0 endmode This is the actual setting and evidently isn't correct. I read the man of frame buffer, but i've not understood the sintassi to change fb modes. When i was using an intel processor lilo, I used VGA=ask, but I don't know if I may use the same solution to find the right resolution with a blade, silo and elite card. This is a piece of my silo.conf: ## read-only timeout=10 image=1/vmlinuz.new label=Linux.new initrd=/boot/initrd.img.new root=/dev/sdb5 Is it possible to insert VGA=ask to check possibilities to change resolution? Where it's necessary to put VGA=ask to obtain what I'm finding?

I *think* the only way to set resolution is from OBP. Yes you are right. I tried to play with OBT and I was able to obtain the right resolution. If someone need: in OBP setenv output-device screen:r1024x768x70 system respond output-device = screen:r1024x768x70 Now it's possible to boot linux and all is OK.

I don't know if Debian makes the microcode available or if you have to get it yourself directly, but I am sure Debian provides the microcode loader. However, your problem indicates that you can't load type1, kbd, or mouse modules, all of which should be available. Check the log to see if you loaded any modules please (well, you must have loaded sunffb at least). All of those should be in whatever directory the xorg modules are in. On my system, for example, I see /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/mouse_drv.so (and /usr/lib/xorg/modules/fonts/libtype1.so and so on). Hi. Thank for your mail. I was already using the the Elite microcode. I found the problem: usually I don't use X so when I changed from XFree to xorg I forgot to install xserver-xorg-input-kbd and xserver-xorg-input-mouse . Now it works correcltly. Remain the problem to change the framebuffer setting because the image is a bit taller than my monitor. I hope to find information to change this by google ;) Cheers Antonio -- #+--+#+--+#+--+#+--+#+--+#+--+#+--+#+--+#+--+# Antonio Madesani [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] #+--+#+--+#+--+#+--+#+--+#+--+#+--+#+--+#+--+# -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
