I'm no authority, but I have been successfully running this combination
on my Ultra 5 for some time:
X.Org X Server 1.7.7
Release Date: 2010-05-04
X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0
Build Operating System: Linux 2.6.32-bpo.5-sparc64-smp sparc Debian
Current Operating System: Linux ultra5.localdomain 2.6.32-5-sparc64 #1 Thu
Aug 12 15:23:02 UTC 2010 sparc64
Kernel command line: root=UUID=681641d3-5316-4b76-aa30-284b541d47d0 ro
Build Date: 15 July 2010 04:58:18PM
xorg-server 2:1.7.7-3 (Cyril Brulebois <kibi@debian.org>)
Also, as I reported here last week:
Subject: Re: Daily image builds restored
"Installed wheezy using businesscard.iso today (7 Mar.) to Ultra 10
with IDE Cd-Rom and hard drive, then upgraded to kernel 2.6.37
without problem."
I haven't installed X yet, but I'll try it and report back.
