Warren, thank you, but this doesn't help. I've added:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
HorizSync 30-50
VertRefresh 60
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Card0"
Driver "mach64"
BusID "PCI:0:2:0"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Card0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
Modes "1280x1024"
EndSubSection
EndSection
This is an LCD monitor, and the manuf. specs state
max res 1280x1024
horizontal: 30-80
vertical: 50-75
I tried modes down to 800x600 - no change.
I noticed also this error:
(EE) [drm] drmOpen failed.
(EE) MACH64(0): [dri] DRIScreenInit Failed
should I add device drm to the kernel?
Just to remind, this is sparc64.

wow.. you mean on sparc64? I didn't know.
If it'll work on sparc, this would be great. There
are many more radeon 7000 on offer than pgx64.
many thanks as always
