Re: X in lenny: 'cannot run in ramebuffer mode'
I couldn't add much more info than I have in my posts. The BusID I got is from the X.org output as it listed what it autoprobed. I had seen BusID lines for AGP and PCIe cards, so it wasn't too hard to make one for SBUS. Jon.

Re: Re: Debian First Boot Problem on Ultra5
Is the monitor connected to the VGA port built into the motherboard? I've been having problems with X & GDM on an Ultra 10, which uses the same mobo, IIRC. I was planning on trying it with the on board video, but you may be beating me to it. Jon.

Re: X in lenny: 'cannot run in ramebuffer mode'
This looks like the same error I was getting on my Ultra 10 w/ Creator 3D card under a fresh Lenny/5.0.1 install. Under 5.0.0 it get an error of not having the sunffb module available. I have a thread going on the list about it as well. Jon. On Sun, May 3, 2009 at 5:09 AM, Martin Lemmen wrote: > Hi all, > recently I made a fresh install of lenny on my SPARC.

Re: X/GDM fails on Ultra 10 w/ Creator 3D under Lenny
Just gave 5.0.0 an install. X/GDM fails, complaining of missing the sunffb module(s). I didn't nab the X.org output before I wiped the system though. It sure seem X is really broken on UPA cards. I'll have to give it a shot on the built-in video and see what it does. Jon/HiR. On Tue, Apr 21, 2009 at 8:20 PM, Jon Pruente wrote: > "apt-cache policy xorg" only lists 7.3+10 avail.

Re: X/GDM fails on Ultra 10 w/ Creator 3D under Lenny
"apt-cache policy xorg" only lists 7.3+10 avail. Is there somewhere else I should look? Jon.

X/GDM fails on Ultra 10 w/ Creator 3D under Lenny
I just completed a clean install of 5.0.1 on my Ultra 10 and it seemed to go well, up to booting to the GUI. It fails, telling me it needs to have the BusID specified to use the fbdev. Before I make my post very long with the X error output, is there a common busID I should try for the Creator 3D UPA card? I tried adding the "SBUS:/SUNW,f...@1e,0" line that is ref'd in the error output to the Device section, which took care of not having a busID specified, but it still says it can't use the framebuffer. -- /var/log/Xorg.0.log -- X.Org X Server 1.4.2 Release Date: 11 June 2008 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0 Build Operating System: Linux Debian (xorg-server 2:1.4.2-10.lenny1) Current Operating System: Linux ultra10 2.6.26-2-sparc64 #1 Sat Mar 28 08:25:47 UTC 2009 sparc64 Build Date: 15 March 2009 03:23:10PM Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.x.org to make sure that you have the latest version.
