I just purchased a ultra sparc 5 for the first time
today. I am a virgin in sparc territory and am completely at a
loss. I administrate several debian servers but all of them are x86
based. Well it has a regular looking VGA port on the back but when I hook
the monitor up I get no video. Once in a while there will be lines across
the screen but that’s about it. It does beep so it sounds like it
is posting and I can hear hard drive activity, but no video. I have tried
changing the resolution using the following commands
Stop a
Setenv output-device screen:r1024x768x60
Reset
But I still get nothingL The
person I bought the machine from did include a 13w3 connecter but there is no
place to plug the thing in. I know my monitor can easily support the
1024x768x60 resolution so I don’t think that is the issue. Any help
or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
