I have a U10 that I never got X working on. here it is : http://gcu.info/~gaston/sparc64/xorg.conf-u10 basically, it's the result of X -configure + a few tweaks to make the sun mouse work. I think i'll try to build the s3virge driver upon my next upgrade on this box, this'd be really neat to make this old card work with it. Landry

I've seen on xenocara/driver/Makefile that s3virge driver, which this card normally uses on other archs/OS, is not enabled on sparc64. Is there a particular reason, there is a known problem with this hardware, or is it only because sparc64 are normally only bundled/tested with ati's (as stated on http://www.openbsd.org/sparc64.html) ? May i try building the driver, or it's not worth trying ? is it possible to build _only_ the driver/ part of xenocara, taking the rest of xenocara from snapshot ? I've tried with wsfb(4), but the primary card is always taken, even when specifiying BusID.. If i make the card work, do i have a chance to get Xinerama ? The sparc64 kernel currently lacks the support for running multi-head with PCI cards all together. -- Matthieu Herrb

Mandatory dmesg : http://gcu.info/~gaston/sparc64/dmesg.boot Xorg.0.log, when trying with wsfb and BusID 2:1:0 and using onboard ati as default : http://gcu.info/~gaston/sparc64/Xorg.0.log Thanks, Landry
