Really ? I use it for several month and got no problem. Only X11 that made an error once : watchdog reset with an ok prompt that did not allow to go for resume. I use the 2.4.26 on a dayly basis without any major problem. The sound is a bit strange (with cliks every time I play something) but everything else works perfectly.

Maybe 2.4 is the reason why I can't get my keymap (swedish, type5c keyboard) working in X. But at least X is starting up fine with a 2.4 kernel. Torbjörn Olander [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: X on SS20
Mandi! Torbjörn Olander In chel di` si favelave... 2.6 kernel, but I can't seem to get Xfree86 running (yes, I know it's slow but i just want to try it :-). I can't seem to find anything useful from the logs, and the sceen never shows anything, it just goes blank meetoo. Kernel 2.4 works perfectly, so i think it is simply some bugs in framebuffer, i've not understood if it's my fault (wrong .config file ;) or the kernel fault. -- dott.

X on SS20
Hello I recently aquired a SparcStation 20 with a SM50 CPU module, 64MB RAM and CG6 framebuffer. I got it running with debian unstable and a custom 2.6 kernel, but I can't seem to get Xfree86 running (yes, I know it's slow but i just want to try it :-). I can't seem to find anything useful from the logs, and the sceen never shows anything, it just goes blank and then it freezes. I can log in with ssh and do some commands but I can't reboot it, since it stops somewhere in the process. Also if I run ps it shows most of the processes (I dont know if its all) but it freezes and never exits. If anyone got a SS20 up and runnin Xfree86 with a 2.6 kernel I would gladly have a look at your config files (X and kernel). I also wonder what would be the best CPU upgrade for this system if I intend to run linux on it. AFAIK HyperSPARC's doesnt work very well with linux and sparc32 SMP on 2.6 is broken? I'm considering a pair of SM71 modules or does anyone have advice for a better choice? RAM is also on my upgrade list. Best regards Torbjörn Olander [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sorry for bad english and asking questions in a strange way, but I'm not very used to writing in english :)

problems with X on SS20
hi! i've installed woody on my dualhead SS20 (cg14 and cg6), and things are working quite well so far. the only thing that worries me is the mouse: most of the times when i do something with the mouse, i get a lof of bogus activity. eg, i select text in an xterm, and move to another window on the screen to paste the text. suddenly the mouse freaks, moves the pointer all over the screen and all the while pasting the previously selected text, or it makes another selection while freaking and drops that one all over the place. it's actually quite difficult to describe what happens, and while it happens frequently, i've not seen a single action that always triggers the behaviour. has anyone seen similar stuff? HW is a dualcpu SS20, running 2.2.20-sun4dm-smp and xserver-xfree86 4.1.0-16. keyboard is a type 6 (though i've configured it as a type5 for lack of better options), with a normal sunmouse attached. -- Thomas 'Mike' Michlmayr | ignorami: n: The BOFH art of folding problem [EMAIL PROTECTED] | lusers into representational shapes. pgpNp323jNmdt.pgp Description: PGP signature
