Hi,
as I'm a newbie to utlra5, and after searching (also with google) a little bit, I just have some questions left open.
But at first, I like to use that ultra 5 as a surf, development (Java, C/C++,LAMP) station and prefer to use KDE (3.2.3) as GUI environment.
Thats what I like to achieve, and I guess the ultra 5 should be allright for that.
The Box has 512M Mem and a 9G SCSI Disk. Should be enaugh.
What I like to know, where can I find informations about the onboard Graphicscard (I read elsewhere its ATI-Mach, right ?)
How can I set up a functioning xfree-config ? Are there some hints to find ?
That the next Point, use xfree or x.org ?
I guess, the "rest" is the same as on Gentoo PPC, or on other Sun Boxes (which I never used with xfree when using linux, shame on me, but I just used them as little servers).
Thanks in advance,
Cheers Frank

Comments on a couple of your questions:
- xorg-x11 v. xfree xorg-x11. xfree is deprecated on sparc.
- mach-64 xorg (or xfree) does support it, and there are contributers to this forum who do use it.
Either search the forum, or keep asking. (I do not use mach64, so I don't have better information
than to tell you that it is used on sparc with xorg. I have used sparc+linux+X11 with a mach64, but I
currently do not do so.)
Hope this helps,
Ferris |
