There probably needs to be LCD programming done by the video card's X86 bios before the X server starts up. And that isn't going to happen because: 1) Sun ATI cards lack x86 bios 2) We don't build the ATI xfree86 driver to execute x86 bios even is present currently, and changing this would be a huge task.

I general, from what I have found, LCD panels are extraordinarily picky about their sync frequency. They are not true "multisync" monitors that can sync at any frequency between the lowest and highest. For instance, prior to purchasing my LCD1880SX, I had an NEC LCD1850E, which is almost identical to the 1880SX, but will only do 1280x1024 at either 60Hz or 75Hz, instead of the 1880SX's spec which says [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] I my case, I had the converter box which could _only_ sync at 76 Hz. I had to sell my old monitor and get the new one just to hook up my new Ultra 60. FWIW, it worked great after I got done. I realize, of course, after writing this that it is no help whatever, but I can tell you that when I tried to send a 76Hz signal to my 75Hz 1850E, I got a black screen, but the LED on the front did not go orange, it stayed green (which on the NEC monitors indicates that there is a signal). Maybe that will help and at least indicate where the problem might be. > The LCD is ok connected to another machine.

When you do "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86" did you select LCD panel for the monitor? -- Debian - http://www.debian.org/ Linux 1394 - http://www.linux1394.org/ Subversion - http://subversion.tigris.org/ WatchGuard - http://www.watchguard.com/

LCD on a Sun Blade 100
Hi everybody, has anybody managed to get a Fujitsu Siemens 4312 FA LCD display or similar configured on debian/unstable (xserver-xfree86 4.2.1-11)? I've got the datasheet of that model specifying horiz. freq. 30-81 kHz and vertical freq. 56-75 Hz. No success reconfiguring xserver-xfree86 with this info. No reactions on the display, black screen. The LCD is ok connected to another machine. I've managed to get it up and running on a SuSE linux PC using sax2. So that's no hardware problem I tried to copy the modlines calculated by sax2 over to the debian/sparc XF86Config-4 file. That didn't help neither. The display is running fine with 1280x1024-75 on solaris as well using. Anyone that could help, please?
