Hi folks, sorry, haven't been in office yesterday. I definitively need afbinit on the cards, otherwise things do not work. In very old releases of X (like the one that came with SuSE 7.3) the sunffb works without afbinit, but is very slow. In current releases of X (what comes with Debian) I get no X without afbinit. Therefore, from my standpoint, afbinit is mandatory. Sorry for the delay, take care Dieter -- HARMAN BECKER AUTOMOTIVE SYSTEMS Dr.-Ing.

The relevant XOrg package will need to recommend sparc-utils for sparc. Also, debian-installer's pkgsel will need to make sure sparc-utils is installed in /target if the desktop task is selected (it currently does the same for other hardware detection packages). pgpRTVtbcE8iY.pgp Description: PGP signature

Thanks for your work on this. The script works okay on an Ultra 10, detecting onboard ati. One of my U60's has an afb (creator) and ffb (elite). The script reported "unknown" since the afb is earlier in the node list and there was no clause for SUNW,afb. To detect Creator 3D video and cg14 (SX framebuffer), add "SUNW,afb" ) driver='sunffb' ;; "SUNW,sx" ) driver='suncg14' ;; to the case statement near the end. Running the script triggers a watchdog reset on my SS20, so I could not verify correct operation. (Probably a hardware or kernel problem.) Does prtconf need /proc/openprom to be mounted, and are that mount and the sparc-utils package available during installation? Kernels 2.6 will not require prtconf. U60: /sys/class/graphics/fb0/name = "Creator 3D" /sys/class/graphics/fb1/name = "Elite 3D" U10: /sys/class/graphics/fb0/name = "ATY Mach64" > I would also appreciate information about which keyboard settings are > appropriate for what keyboart types, so that we can implement it properly.

When I got it, it had both a Creator 3D card and the ATI card. I pulled out the Creator 3D card because I don't have a monitor for it, but what would happen if both are present?

This is already decided by the kernel on the choice of the used framebuffer console and not necessarily correct (means: differs from openboot). OpenBoot on the U60 will choose the Creator3D if present, else the PCI card. Kernel uses framebuffer on the PCI card. This difference messes up display the display (wrong colors), so I only have one inserted. So maybe you don't need prtconf but choose dependent on the current kernel framebuffer?

Hi,
I've hacked together a script (attached) which parses prtconf output and
outputs the name of corresponding xorg driver. I've only included the
information which I could find on my own machines and prtconf examples.
Please test it on your box (you'll need prtconf from sparc-utils and awk).
If you will get no output (which means that the script failed to detect
any cards) or 'unknown' (found a card, but failed to map it to the
driver), please submit output of prtconf -p -v on your machine as well as
information about which xorg driver is appropriate for it.
I would also appreciate information about which keyboard settings are
appropriate for what keyboart types, so that we can implement it properly.
