XFree86 on Sunblade 150

[Ryan Terry (MessEdUp)]

I am trying to configure X on a SunBlade 
150.
 
I am using the ati Mach64 server, and it is working 
enough to where I can get a desktop and I can set my resolution, and see things 
just fine.
 
The problem I have is that the top 2 inches of the 
screen seem to "bend" to the right about a half inch.   Other than 
this the X-Server seems to be running well.
 
I have drawn up a VERY dirty sketch of what the 
screen looks like just to try to explain, it can be found here:

Any help would be appreciated.

I tried that with no luck.  BUT I was successful in passing an nfsroot= and
ip= parameter to the kernel, and doing an nfsroot install.

I am having issues with XFree, and I am trying to work them out, but you
help is much appreciated.

If you have seen this video issue let me know.

I am running X version 4.2.1.1 and the ati driver version 6.4.16.  X starts
up, but when it loads the top 2 inches of the screen seem to be streched to
the right about a half inch.

I have tried many different hsync, and vsync settings and different
resolutions to no avail.  Lemme know if this sounds familiar.

Installing Linux on sunblade 150

[Ryan Terry (MessEdUp)]

I have made multiple attempts to install Linux on 
the SunBlade 150.  I have tries multiple distros, and even a few versions 
of each distro.  I seem to be getting the farthest with debian, but I'm 
still not even able to run the install.  With the full sparc ISO image from 
debian I get the FAST DATA MRU Miss error.  If I boot the sparc64 image I 
get better results.
 
boot cdrom /boot/sparc64, will actually boot, but 
during the kernel load it fails after not finding a valid partition, and it 
tries an nfs boot.
 
I wanted to see if anyone has had much luck with a 
sunblade 150, and could point me in the right direction.
