For what it is worth I have XVR-100 on Ultra 5 which does provide graphics at 640x480 with the default fb… I would love support for XVR-100 (Raedon 7000) to come back and would be willing to add cash to the bounty if that route taken. Attached is my Xorg.0.logroot@xray:/var/log# uname -aLinux xray

Glint 1.2.9 deb package debian 10 sparc64

This weekend I sat down and wrestled with the missing Glint driver for the PGX32 PCI Card. It turned out to be pretty straightforward and I suspect it was dropped because of lack of interest. I probably took way more steps then needed but I’ve never done this before on debian. Steps I took to

sun4u pci Video Card recommendations [openboot not required]?

Given the state of the old video drivers missing or non-functioning in modern Xorg does anyone have any recommendations for PCI Card that should work well enough on the old hardware. In my case that’s an Ultra 5, Openboot support is not a requirement. Currently I have PGX32 but the glint driv

I spent a few hours trying different things on this but no luck. Hardware: Sun Ultra 5 - 333mhz / 512MB - Promise 100 PCI card as IDE interface.. Install Image: 2020-05-30/debian-10.0.0-sparc64-NETINST-1.iso Boots CDROM and finds disks no problem. Issue is after the partitioning is done and

Re: Debian dont bring up second CPU

Might not be helpful but I would check the openboot settings. use .asr to see if anything has been disabled and/or printenv to see if any changes from default might be causing this. http://shrubbery.net/~heas/sun-feh-2_1/General/OBP.html

Getting additional modules for install. [missing pdc202xx_new]

I have sort of an odd situation, I want to test debian 9 on an Ultra 5 that is capable of booting* a Promise PDC20269 chipset card [Maxtor ATA/133]. The install does not have pdc202xx_new available and I was unsure what the best way was to get a Sparc64 kernel module built for it. I do not have
