Hello!
I'm recompiling my kernel and want to include sound support... which
options do I have to enable for my Sun box?
Thanks,
Angel

Hello!
I've successfully installed slink on my Sparcstation and am very happy
with it, but I have a problem concerning colors under X. I am running the
Xsun24 server, but have got only 16 colors... I'm afraid it is running on
8bits depth (am I right?). I've tried to change that, but I haven't got
It would be helpful to know which framebuffer you have. Even
some that are 24-bit capable I believe are currently supported
as doing 8-bit (which is 256 colors, BTW).
Look at http://www.geog.ubc.ca/s_linux.html and see if it tells
you anything. At worst, if you don't know what card you have,

All info I can see is:

I had to look no further than the two characters GX... you
have a CG6, which is accerelated 8-bit framebuffer, not capable
of doing 24-bit graphics.
Finding a 24-bit framebuffer that'll work with Linux and
Solaris would be a chore. I personally also have a CG6,
though a Turbo GX, which is a
I always wanted 24bit color for my sparc, till I found out the cheapest I
could get a ZX framebuffer (or the one of the SS-5) was going to cost as
much as my Sparc5 did... so, needles to say, I live with the ekky colors
in X. :)

Heh... reminds me... don't even ask what this TurboGX cost me. :)
Oh well... at least X is usable now...
Sun hardware is expensive, but you get what you pay for...

Thanks a lot... I was getting crazy trying to find it out!
My advice? Live with it (still a decent

It was working fine for me (except that I couldn't get 24bits color :)
Anyway... it had some crashes from time to time... I
Blah, that stinks. What about the APx or whatever it is for the Sparc5?
