Re: Problem getting X Server to tun on Ultra Sparc 10 with Debian 3.0.r1
Hi
I had the same problem, I gave up trying xf86config and started editing
the XF86Config file by hand and checking the log messages in
/var/log/XFree86.0.log
It was a while ago but from what I remember I commented out the
Load "dri" line in the Module section (along with a couple of other ones)
and made sure the Driver was "sunffb" in the Device section
I've attached the file that's working from me (running on an Ultra30 but
with the same graphics card)
