Finally, I got xorg working so now I can use mozilla to browse for help 
I am completely new to Sun/Sparc, so I do have a few [more] questions:
1. Keyboard seems to be working good, except I cannot get out of X into text terminals (control+alt+F1-6)
keyboard section of xorg.conf:
| Code: |
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard1"
Driver "keyboard"
Option "Protocol" "Standard"
Option "XkbKeycodes" "sun(type5)"
Option "XkbModel" "type5"
Option "XkbRules" "sun"
Option "XkbLayout" "en_US"
Option "XkbTypes" "types/complete"
Option "XkbCompat" "compat/complete"
Option "XkbGeometry" "sun(type5unix)"
EndSection
|
In some forums people suggested to use
| Code: |
Option "HandleSpecialKeys" "Always"
|
in Section "ServerLayout", but this did not help.
2. My Ultra 5 has onboard ATI 3D Rage Pro with 4MB RAM (at least this is what xorg says)

Is there a way to make it work in 1280x1024 x24bpp?
In theory, 3 bytes per pixel at that resolution should fit in 4 MB. On practice, only 1024x768 is available in 24bpp... 
3. is it possible to use 2D/3D hardware acceleration on this card on sparc?
4. In text console (no X), "Del" works as "Back Space", and it drives me nuts! 
5. if I would put another PCI video card in this box, is it possible to use it as a primary video for the box (or just disable onboard)?
Is there an equivalent for BIOS SETUP where I could look at all the goods under the hood and tweak them?
6. how can I find out my CPU cache size? (cat /proc/cpuinfo does not say it)
Thanks ! |
