Use the latest Sarge testing boot images, I'm happily running
Debian on my 1.5GHZ SB1500
Back to the bug report. The X server already makes a check, but
there was some talk the other week about this check crashing
Creator3D chips (since we poke a register that only exists on
the Elite3D card to check this) so it's possible someone patched
the test out or changed it.
I haven't looked at the X server sources in a year or so unfortunately,
so I'm pretty out of touch with the current state of the tree.
And with a million and a half networking and sparc64 kernel things to
do, I doubt I'll get back to it any time soon.
