So the following line is incorrect? (--) SBUS: Sun Elite3D I have to admit I don't know a lot about Sun's proprietary display hardware. I don't think I can offer much help here; perhaps try asking on debian-sparc. Also, please be warned that there may be an acronym collision here. The AFB referenced in your logfile that you appear to be talking about: (II) /dev/fb0: AFB: Detected Elite3D/M6. (II) /dev/fb0: BT498 (PAC2) ramdac detected (II) /dev/fb0: Detected Elite3D M3/M6, checking firmware... (II) /dev/fb0: ... AFB firmware not loaded (WW) /dev/fb0: Forcing no acceleration on Elite3D M3/M6 *probably* has nothing to do with a part of the X Window System server implementation called "afb" for "Amiga framebuffer". Support for that framebuffer type is not built for the SPARC architecture in Debian, however. -- G. Branden Robinson | No math genius, eh?
