I just built XFree86 4.7.0 and am trying to get it to run on
an Ultra45 with XVR-300 running Solaris 10 (not OpenSolaris).

The reason I thought it might work is that I saw this in
the release notes:

  3.5.2  XFree86 core server and modules
  ...
    o Added support for UltraSPARC IV systems,
      including support for PCI Express.

Is the Ultra45 an "UltraSPARC IV systems"?  Does there exist
a hardware matrix for SPARCs that shows info about what busses
they have and if X.org can run on them?

Installed the aperture driver that I found in the XFree86
src tree at:

  xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/etc/apSolaris.shar

when I run the PCI bus scanning program found at:

  xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/etc/scanpci

I get this output:

  # ./scanpci -V 9
    PCI host bridge found ("pciex108e,80f0")
    PCI host bridge found ("pciex108e,80f0")
    No PCI devices found

Should that command be able to find the XVR-300 card?


Merry Christmas,
Pat
