X on Ultra 10 (afbinit, XFre86)



This is what I did and it enabled X to work (both Gnome and KDE). I still have a problem that it sticks with 1152x900 resolution although I configured it for 1024x768 using:
dpkg-reconfigure XF...

Steps to make X working on my Ultra 10 with Elite 3D:

1a) Download afbinit package from:
http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/contrib/a/afbinit/afbinit_1.0-1_sparc.deb

1b) Install it with follwoing command:
dpkg -i afbinit_1.0-1_sparc.deb

2a) Download 106144-28.zip patch file from Sun's website and extract only "abf.ucode" file from it. 2b) Place the abf.ucode file into /usr/lib folder. The /etc/init.d/afbinit file installed from the package worked without any modifications (great!).

I still need help with how to make it 1024x768. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Tomo
