RE: testing on Ultra 5
I just installed Debian on my Ultra5 and have been really fighting to
get X working correctly. It DID detect my Mach64 card ok. Fought with
the mouse being erratic until I set the protocol to Microsoft - and now
it works fine (so far) even though it's a Sun PS/2 mouse plugged into my
keyboard.
Not the real problem (other then some tweaking changes to the video mode
settings - suggestions welcome), is that the keyboard mapping is all
screwed up. I have in XF86Config:
Section "Keyboard"
Protocol "Standard"
XkbDisable
XbkKeyMap "xfree86(en_US)"
EndSection
Suggestions? What's anyone else with Debian (potato) on an SPARC Ultra5
using?

The log in /var/log/XFree86.log would have proven useful. I know that X
from testing works out-of-the-box on Ultra5 (I have one).
