Re: Bullseye planned on sparc64?

Yes, I'd also love (pay) to have decent graphics support. I migrated my Ultra 5 to Sparc64 in 2018 and since then hardly turned it on. The graphics are a real weak point. I've both PGX-64 and XVR-100 graphics, and also tried

Re: Ultra5 successful install - PGX64 issues

I was unsuccessful in getting the PGX64 to work using the mach64 driver, fortunately however there is the fbdev framebuffer driver which works fine. So now I have a LXDE desktop on my Ultra5. https://feilipu.me/2018/04/14/old-sunshine-migrating-ultra5-to-sparc64/ I was advised that trying to
