results using xfree86 4.1.0-0pre1v1 on sparc



Here's my preliminary results.

  Sparc Ultra5
  Woody fully up-to-date
  video: 3D RAGE (GT) [0x4754 rev 0x9a] 2M SGRAM, 14.31818 MHz XTAL, 200 MHz PLL, 
  version tested: xfree86 4.1.0-0pre1v1
  Operative Packages: xserver-xfree86, xserver-common, upgraded
     from the 3.3.6 X11 packages


During configuration of xserver-xfree86, ati is not offered as a
card driver choice; worked around by configuring for fbdev then
changing the configuration file afterwards

After installation of the packages, despite being asked the questions,
I was strangely left w/o an /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file.  Running
'dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86' and running thru the packages again
managed to install that conffile though.  Wierd.

During configuration of mouse, was not offered /dev/sunmouse.

Am confused on what the mouse protocol is called in XF86 v4.  The
sunmouse is not mentioned in
/usr/share/doc/xserver-xfree86/README.mouse.gz .

Switched over to serial mouse for now to workaround.

Was left with both
 	InputDevice	"Configured Mouse"
	InputDevice	"Generic Mouse"
in XF86Config-4.  That caused crashes.

On starting X server, keyboard seems totally fudged.  All keys
remapped to garbage, unable to escape with Ctrl-Alt-Bksp or
Ctrl-Alt-F1, had to ssh into the box and kill the window manager
manually.

Below is a diff of the changes I manually made to XF86Config-4.


Let me know how else I can help.  Please CC me on replies, I'm not on
this list.
