i've gotten debian to run in X on ultrasparcs, but unfortunately the ones i have use a different graphics card. i have a couple questions for you though. - does your kernel support your graphics card / fb? - did you try installing with the appropriate debian package? if yes to both of those, try installing the discover, mdetect, and read-edid packages, and then re-installing your xserver and reconfiguring it. hth, good luck, sean On Tue, Dec 03, 2002 at 03:01:24PM -0800, Tom Huggett wrote: > I am trying to install x-win for woody on a Sun Ultra 5 with sunffb video. > tasksel allows sunffb selection but not configuration. > dselect did not show sunffb. > Executing XFreeConfig did not show the drivers. > XFree86 4.1.0, 4.2.0 & 4.2.1 'Xinstall.sh -check' returns > "No Linux binaries available for this architecture...sparc64..." > Forcing Xinstall.sh causes extract, extract.exe & extract.save to fail > And be appended as .bad > During boot > xdm reports > (EE) no devices found > fatal server error > no screen found > after blinking two times & displaying character mode, > I suspect I forgot something > But I do not know what. > My apologies if this is already documented. > > I am targeting this for a home controller gateway. > Initially I wish to configure the rs-232c port to HVAC system > And later specializing in devices for elder in-home care. > > Thank you, > Tom@Huggett.org > 408-378-5564 > 408-884-2401 fax > http://Automation-Security.US > > > > > > > > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-request@lists.debian.org > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
