Hello, I'm new to Debian and trying it out on Ultra10 which has
Creator3D framebuffer.
I installed Debian stable and seem to be having some issues with X11 or
display manager. The system boots OK and I can see boot messages, but
when it goes to start display manager the screen goes black and nothing
happens. No windows, no mouse cursor, nothing.
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 installed a Creator card in my Ultra 10 and the problem seems
to be that Debian tries to use the onboard ATI. You can search
for this on the Web.
I got a console by appending "video=atyfb:off" to the silo boot,
but X is still not working. I created a xorg.conf, but I don't
know how to ID the Creator card, which isn't PCI.
I've certainly had it working in the past, probably with Lenny. This is
from a colleague's old U10, but it's running Etch headless so I can't be
sure that it's good

Obviously, any attached monitor has to be capable of sync-on-green. In
practice this means something like an NEC MultiSync.
