Well, I decided to pull my Ultra2 (2x300Mhz) out of the closet over the holiday weekend and reinstall Gentoo on it, the previous copy was over a year out of date. The only problem I've run into is not being able to start xorg due to a module load failure, if anyone has any suggestions, I would appreitiate it.

This show's up with both 6.8.1.901 & 6.8.0-r4. System was compiled from Stage1 with ~sparc.

Apparently, if you are using xorg-x11-6.8.0-r4 and sunffb, you must build with "USE='dlloader'"
and then uncomment the 'Load "cfb"', 'Load "cfb32"' lines in xorg.conf.

If you are using 6.8.1.901, you are a pioneer, because as far as I know, that makes you the first to try it.

It seems that the patch to make cfb & friends work with dlloader also forces you to USE='dlloader'; I am not sure why, but once you have it built,
you are better off using it.

Sorry for the confusion,

Thanks, that solved everything, version 6.8.1.901 is now up and running, haven't noticed any issues with this version yet.
