Bug#522605: closed by Julien Cristau <jcristau@debian.org> (Bug#488669: fixed in xorg-server 2:1.4.2-10.lenny1)

Hi Julien,

I'm not sure how bug #522605 can be considered closed. I appreciate that 
bug #488669 can be considered closed. Indeed, the xserver was working 
fine on the MACH64 card after the kernel changes even without the 
fallback to fbdev.

However the same kernel fix didn't sort out the problems for MGA.

And the notion of using the Frame Buffer device for MGA doesn't seem to 
me to be OK, because the lenny sparc64 kernel does not include the MGA 
fb module. Unless the Debian policy is that you make your own kernel if 
you need a specific module??? (That's fine. I am able to do that. Just 
need confirmation)

TIA,
Shaddy
