You need: a debian sparc running recent unsntable and a attached monitor. Try to install kdm and log in. Report back if it works or not. i have a similar problem, with gdm not working on sparc running current unstable debian. similarly with Scott, after i've upgraded a bunch of packages, the X server did not start any more: gdm was starting, but X server flashes and immediately stops, leaving only gdm running. Could you guys please check if these issues are related to #432256? I've rebuilt xorg with the patch suggested there and I can't reproduce the bugs you reported: both kdm and gdm are woking properly on my system.

Xorg works fine, but gdm cannot start. I can see in /var/log/syslog :
Jul 2 15:22:08 fermat gdm[7287]: Xinerama active, but = 0 screens?
Jul 2 15:22:09 fermat gdm[7286]: gdm_child_action : abandon de

I don't understand this message. I don't use Xinerama. I have tried
to add a ServerFlas section in xorg.conf with Option Xinerama false
without any success.
It seems that gdm doesn't check the values returned by
XineramaQueryScreens.
libgtk's approach in a similar situation is to assume there's no
Xinerama if the number of monitors returned by XineramaQueryScreen is
= 0.
Please try the attached patch, works fine here.

We do have a br for the same problem (one ati card and no output after Booting Linux) also on a Sun Blade 150. See #403364. So, the problem is reproducible on Blade 100/150 with a single (ati) video card, and booting with video=atyfb:off is the workaround. On my Blade 2000, with an ati and a creator 3d, the problem is not reproducible.

Re: Blade 1000 - no hard disks detected
Hello Thomas, * Thomas Amm [EMAIL PROTECTED], [2007-03-03 12:04 +0100]: I was trying to install Etch on my Sun Blade 1000 via netboot. Unlike the install, I tried about a year ago, the install menu was displayed fine and keyboard and network recognition were fast and correct - unfortunately no hard disks were detected. I also had no luck in trying to manually load the right driver. That's because the installer is now using the qla2xxx module for the Blade's controller, and that module doesn't work without a binary firmware. What you need to do is just switching to a console (alt+f2), wget the qlogic firmware, install it, and re-load the qla2xxx module. wget http://http.us.debian.org/debian/pool/non-free/f/firmware-nonfree/firmware-qlogic_0.3_all.deb udpkg -i firmware-qlogic_0.3_all.deb modprobe -r qla2xxx modprobe qla2xxx ciao, ema -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: 2.6.20 unaligned accesses
* David Miller [EMAIL PROTECTED], [2007-02-26 15:16 -0800]: From: Emanuele Rocca [EMAIL PROTECTED] On a Sun Blade 2000 I got this one every time I load eth1394: Kernel unaligned access at TPC[101880c8] ether1394_reset_priv+0x2c/0xb8 [eth1394] I got rid of the message with the following patch: That is a different bug, and the current 2.6.x tree already has that fix applied so you shouldn't need to apply that patch to the vanilla tree. Ah, nice. linux-source 2.6.18.dfsg.1-11 (Debian unstable) is affected by the bug, so maybe we could add the patch? Thanks. ciao, ema signature.asc Description: Digital signature
Re: Sun Blade 2000
Hello Frans, * Frans Pop [EMAIL PROTECTED], [2007-02-21 7:08 +0100]: On Wednesday 21 February 2007 01:25, Emanuele Rocca wrote: I've tried using reiserfs for the root partition, but silo doesn't work with filesystems which are not ext3/ext2/ufs; it would be very cool IMHO to warn the user about that if he tries to use something different from ext3/ext2. I know that one should RTFM before installing, but going through the whole installation just to realize that the machine won't boot, err, sucks. Please file a BR against silo-installer for that. A patch would be great too ;-) Actually it's been already reported (and closed): #286265. I'll try another installation, it seems that the check didn't work here.
