Another powerpc success report. Have been running 4.0.3-0pre1v1 for several days now on an iMac (Rage 128) with no problems whatsoever.

Should this work with a Mach64 card on an UltraSPARC? If so, how? It doesn't offer that as an option when configuring. Ben Collins said to use the v3 mach64 packages, but I couldn't find a consistent set of testing packages to allow that and I can't with this effort either. I can go through it again and provide details if it helps. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If you have stable as well as unstable (or the XSF repository) in your apt repository, you should be able to just: apt-get install xserver-mach64 xserver-common-v3 You'll need to manually point /etc/X11/X to /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_Mach64. -- G.
