Hi.Hi Hartwig, The method that you're using is basically correct, but it seems odd to me that OBP is recognizing your PCI graphics card as simply "display" and there's no "@" character in the third section of the path "/pci@1f,0/pci@5/display".I misunderstood the diag-switch? output - I am not familiar with Sun device notation. show-devs has the answer: display@0 !Now I get the message "The selected output device has no write routine". What to do? Thank you. Hartwig
Hi Hartwig,I might be mistaken but I believe that means that your PCI graphics card isn't being recognized as a valid Sun graphics card by OBP. Although your graphics card might be supported under linux/sparc, you might still be stuck with using
the Sunblade 100 onboard video as the console until you can get the machine booted into linux. Is it a Sun PCI graphics card or one that was re-purposed from an x86 box? If I remember correctly, early Sunblade 100's with the 3D graphics option were originally shipped with Sun Expert3D-Lite PCI cards, and then later on it was switched to Sun XVR-500 PCI cards. Trying to use any other cardsyour luck my vary... I'm not saying that it won't work, just saying that it's not
something that Sun intended to work. -Brian
