hi folks, i got an ultra 5 that i recently upgraded from stable to testing, now X doesn't work anmore. i followed the instructions on the XorgOnSparc page of the wiki, everything went fine so far. if i do a startx, the screen goes blank, the machine emits a continuous beep and locks up hard. no keypressing makes it switch to console or kill the xserver. i can't say for sure how hard it actually locks up as i have no other computer around to check over the network, but if i redirect stdout and stderr to a file, i find nothing on the disc after the reboot (btw: the beeping doesn't happen if i redirect the oputput). the graphics card is an "ATI Technologies Inc 3D Rage Pro 215GP (rev 5c)" (lspci), xorg is at version 7.0.22 and the kernel (if that is of any interest) is a 2.6.7 (self-compiled from upstream sources). the xorg.conf is attached, the bits that are commented out are stuff i tried, the problem also appears with them in. has anybody seen this before? any pointers? hints where i could lokk? what i could try? thanks robert -- Robert Lemmen http://www.semistable.com
