Re: Need help with XFree86 on an Ultra 5
Hi, I'm using the default 2.4.18 with 4.x you can try this config file http://ingenieria.sanmartin.edu.co//~itamara/debian/sparc/XF86Config-4 maybe running dpkg-reconfigure and choosing fb and this file can be done. Good Luck -- Igor TAmara Pati~o [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.tamarapatino.com/igor
Re: Need help with XFree86 on an Ultra 5
I am running a custom kernel. I built it for a diffent reason but it works. You can grab it at: http://toolbox.rutgers.edu/~amurphy/fai/ \ kernel-image-2.4.18-sun4u_UNI.1.0_sparc.deb The rest of my config is woody/stable, including XF4.1.

Attached is my XF86Config-4 for a Ultra5. It is about as basic as it gets. I think the only "trick" was setting the default depth to 16. My monitor is the Sun flat panel, but those settings seem to work ok with Sun tube monitors. Hope this helps.

Need help with XFree86 on an Ultra 5
I have not been able to get a 4.x version of the XFree86 server running on my Ultra 5. The 3.3.6 server running on the 2.2 kernel (as distributed in Potato) worked fine. I assumed the problem was due to some bug(s) in the 2.4 kernel or the 4.x code in the server because the XFree86.0.log reported "invalid memory allocations" and such. However, these seem to have been solved in the most recent 2.4.19 kernel and 4.2.1 server, and the problem persists. I am still suspicious of the following: (--) ATI(0): ATI 3D Rage Pro graphics controller detected. (--) ATI(0): Chip type 4750 "GP", version 4, foundry UMC, class 0, revision 0x01. (--) ATI(0): PCI bus interface detected; block I/O base is 0xC00400. (--) ATI(0): ATI Mach64 adapter detected. (!!) ATI(0): For information on using the multimedia capabilities of this adapter, please see http://gatos.sf.net. (--) ATI(0): Internal RAMDAC (subtype 1) detected.

Note that the driver seems to detect two cards. The machine actually has a 3D Rage Pro (according to lspci) so the last line above is a bit disturbing. Another data point is that low resolutions such as 640x480 work enough to show an X screen, but my monitor can't sync up. It keeps blinking every one or two seconds to resync. All I see with any higher resolution is a blank screen. If anyone can tell me what is going wrong and/or send a working XF86Config-4 for the Ultra 5, I would be most appreciative. -- If you make people think they're thinking, they'll love you; but if you really make them think they'll hate you. pgp2WxuLL63SU.pgp Description: PGP signature
