RE: Any experience with Radeons on SPARC?
I had switched from Fedora to Squeeze running on a Sun
Blade 2500, with the Radeon XVR-100 graphics card. It ran pretty solid,
and most applications worked fine. I have recently switched back, and I am
running Fedora 12 (2.6.33.3-85.fc12.sparc64) now. I'm also running compiz,
and all the effects seem to work well. I did have a problem with
mouse corruption when using the "SWCursor" in my xorg.conf. I have
finally fixed that issue with the right combination of
packages.
Thanks.

I got a GeForce MX 4000 to run OpenArena using a Sun Ultra 10. It
crashes after a while, but when I first started, it didn't even really run X,
much less full accelerated OpenGL.
What SPARC system are you using? I've found that while the GF4 worked, a
GeForce 8400GS didn't even get recognized via lspci -- signaling it isn't
even active at the hardware level. The same was true however in Pentium-II/III
machines -- it appears that they may lack sufficient power supplies or recent
enough PCI standards to boot the cards. For those, I don't really think there is
a fix. My Sun Blade 2500 could use the same GeForce 8400 GS that the Ultra 10
couldn't detect (although I found the 8400 GS to be less stable).
If you are getting DRM/DRI errors, then definitely report them to
appropriate mailing lists directly.

Hello
everyone,
I was wondering if anyone has any experience with running
stock PC graphics cards on SPARC systems. So far the only one I was able to
get working well enough was the NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 PCI. I have a Radeon
HD4250 PCI that I would love to get running but am currently having problems
getting it to run. I was wondering if anyone has an experience getting the
radeon driver working on SPARC system with Debian.
