I don't have a Creator on my Ultra 10 (onboard ATI), but X works with Creator on my Ultra60 using Jan 10 jessie version of Debian. I know that at some point before this version, the sunffb module was missing, so there was no X. I don't know what you intend to do with your Ultra 10, but even if you get X working, I doubt if any of the graphical browsers will work (bus error) and/or be very slow. The following is what is working for me now: ultra60:~$ uname -a Linux ultra60 3.12-1-sparc64-smp #1 SMP Debian 3.12.6-2 (2013-12-29) sparc64 GNU/Linux ultra60:~$ Xorg -version X.Org X Server 1.14.5 Release Date: 2013-12-12 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0 Build Operating System: Linux 2.6.32-5-sparc64-smp sparc Debian Current Operating System: Linux ultra60 3.12-1-sparc64-smp #1 SMP Debian 3.12.6-2 (2013-12-29) sparc64 Kernel command line: root=/dev/sdb2 ro Build Date: 13 December 2013 06:07:03PM xorg-server 2:1.14.5-1 (Maarten Lankhorst <[email protected]>) Current version of pixman: 0.32.4 Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.x.org to make sure that you have the latest version. ultra60:~$ grep -i sunffb /var/log/Xorg.0.log [ 167.573] (==) Matched sunffb as autoconfigured driver 0 [ 167.573] (==) Matched sunffb as autoconfigured driver 1 [ 167.573] (II) LoadModule: "sunffb" [ 167.599] (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/sunffb_drv.so [ 167.612] (II) Module sunffb: vendor="X.Org Foundation" [ 167.632] (II) SUNFFB: driver for Creator, Creator 3D and Elite 3D [ 167.646] (WW) Falling back to old probe method for sunffb [ 167.649] (WW) SUNFFB: More than one matching Device section found: Autoconfigured Video Device sunffb [ 167.664] (II) SUNFFB(0): Creating default Display subsection in Screen section [ 167.664] (==) SUNFFB(0): RGB weight 888 [ 167.665] (==) SUNFFB(0): Default visual is TrueColor [ 167.665] (==) SUNFFB(0): Using gamma correction (1.0, 1.0, 1.0) [ 167.665] (==) SUNFFB(0): Using HW cursor [ 167.704] (EE) SUNFFB: Failed to load module "xaa" (module does not exist, 0) [ 167.704] (II) SUNFFB(0): Loading XAA failed, acceleration disabled [ 167.705] (==) SUNFFB(0): DPI set to (96, 96) [ 167.771] (==) SUNFFB(0): Backing store disabled [ 167.772] (==) SUNFFB(0): Silken mouse enabled [ 167.804] (==) SUNFFB(0): DPMS enabled [ 167.804] (==) SUNFFB(0): DPMS enabled --------------------- Regards, Howard E. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
