Ultra 5 and X 4.0.1 (woody)

[Ian Setford <ian@emian.com>]

I have an Ultra5 which I upgraded to woody. The 
upgrade process went fine. With the upgrade my 
version of X was changed to 4.0.1 and I have been 
unable to start X ever since.

Using "dexter" I have tried various configurations to 
no avail. My current confi file is shown below. When 
I attempt to start X with "startx" the screen flashes 
and then is blank, meanwhile the machine is hosed. I 
cannot switch VTYs, any ssh/telnet sessions are 
frozen and so on. I have to power cycle the machine 
to get it back.

I don't have very much experience running on SPARC 
hardware so I'm sure I've missed something config 
wise. I have read the debian-sparc archives as well 
as combed through the /usr/doc stuff but I couldn't 
find anything that looked like it would solve my 
problem. If I can post any more files to help I'd be 
glad to.

TIA.
