Re: Xorg 7 on sparc64

Just to reconfirm: I've just reinstalled my Ultra5, updated it to the latest
sid and installed xorg. The xorg.conf file it generates during installation
is indeed broken, as it uses fbdev driver. The machine hangs solid when an
attempt is made to do startx with this xorg.conf (bad!).
Changing the driver to ati makes everything work nicely though. Versions of
installed packages:
xorg 7.0.22
xserver-xorg-core 1.0.2-8
xserver-xorg-video-ati 6.5.8.0-1
The actual xorg.conf used and the log of the server starting up are available
at

OK, I'm having some trouble with Xorg. I followed the procedure, installed
the exact versions mentioned above, and X doesn't start.
Now, first of all I found that there is no x_accel module, so I added the
line Option "no_accel" "true". That remove this error:
(WW) ****INVALID IO ALLOCATION**** b: 0x2c00400 e: 0x2c004ff correcting^G
(EE) /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libxaa.so is an unrecognized module type
(EE) ATI: Failed to load module "xaa" (unknown module type, 6)
But after that I got this error:
(EE) /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libshadowfb.so is an unrecognized module type
(EE) ATI: Failed to load module "shadowfb" (unknown module type, 6)
The problem is that I can't set the frambuffer to off. My Console works
with frame buffer, and I have been unlucky setting FB off in silo.conf:
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.17-rc3-sparc64
label=linux2.6.17
root=/dev/hda1
initrd=/boot/initrd.img-2.6.17-rc3-sparc64
append="video=sbusfb:off"
read-only
The full output from X is:
