I have an Ultra5 which I upgraded to woody. The
upgrade process went fine. With the upgrade my
version of X was changed to 4.0.1 and I have been
unable to start X ever since.
Using "dexter" I have tried various configurations to
no avail. My current confi file is shown below. When
I attempt to start X with "startx" the screen flashes
and then is blank, meanwhile the machine is hosed. I
cannot switch VTYs, any ssh/telnet sessions are
frozen and so on. I have to power cycle the machine
to get it back.
I don't have very much experience running on SPARC
hardware so I'm sure I've missed something config
wise. I have read the debian-sparc archives as well
as combed through the /usr/doc stuff but I couldn't
find anything that looked like it would solve my
problem. If I can post any more files to help I'd be
glad to.
TIA.
