i've gotten debian to run in X on ultrasparcs, but unfortunately the
ones i have use a different graphics card. i have a couple questions
for you though.
- does your kernel support your graphics card / fb?
- did you try installing with the appropriate debian package?
if yes to both of those, try installing the discover, mdetect, and
read-edid packages, and then re-installing your xserver and reconfiguring
it.
hth, good luck,
sean
