Help needed for XF86 configuration for 'Elite 3D' in an Ultra 10
Hi there,
I have some problems with bringing my Ultra 10 to life with XFree86 4.1.0.1.
I try with the latest (only a couple of weeks (2-4) old) Ultra-Sparc Debian distro, downloaded from my nearest mirror.
The system comes up and boots fine, I even receive a Tux during boot (seems atyfb works), but I can't manage to start X with any visible screen.
I selected ati for the X server (which should be fine AFAIK), because it's an ATI 3D RAGE (GT) chipset.
I have an original Sun 20" Monitor, and the standard mouse, but I'm not sure which resolution would be best to select (Card has 2 MB SGRAM). I know, Sun's default resolution is 1152x960, but I'd like to either have a somewhat higher resolution, or maybe some 3D (as a tradeoff). :-) - I also have no trouble with defining two configurations, one for high resolution and another for 3D.
Back to my problem:
When I try to start X, I only get a beep and a black screen. - I can kill it with CTRL-ALT-Backspace, but that's almost all. - I've had not too much time this morning before I had to go to work, but as far as I could see in my haste, I could see no real 'Error' in the output (no EE in the messages) .
I've even tried different colordepths (24,16,8) which made me able to chose from a wider variety of resolutions (according to the debug output), but still a black screen.
Is there anybody who can give me a hint what is going wrong? - What did I miss?
BTW: Which is the correct mouse to choose? - I have an original Sun Type 5 keyboard and a 3 key sun mouse with ball (not optical). - /dev/psaux seems to be wrong to me... - Maybe better /dev/mouse or /dev/sunmouse ?
Best regards,
Herbert
