At this point, there are no sparc X-server packages available from master
(IIRC there is an xlib6 though). There are however test packages available
at ftp.netg.se:/pub/Linux/sparc/X. If noone makes any complaints about the
packages I intend to apply a few more fixes and run another build this
weekend. If I don't run in to any problems I'll send them off to master
on Monday.

RE: X Stuff.

Umm, well I am at the point where I am using Dselect to install all the 
crap I want, including X and stuff... but it gets so far, then complains 
about depending and needing packages which are not available.
I can't remember which ones they were off the top of my head. I am at work 
and can't check, but it seemed to me X wasn't finished enuf, and vital 
packages weren't available to make X work. So I haven't even installed X at 
this stage.

Thanks.

No problem. I have not tried the latest version which supposely fixes
compressed fonts inconvenience. You needed to start xfs (X fonts server)
to work around it. I also noticed that I had to change the permission on
/etc/fb0 to allow regular users to start X. I do not know if it is a
glitch from my side.

The system is a SS1+ with CG3 graphics.
