I managed to get X working on my Ultra 5 by grabbing the .deb for the XFree86 server from Debian's pre-release for X 4.2.0. Simply replacing the built binary with this one fixes all issues. |

My X worked fine on my ultra10, which is basicly the same as an ultra5. Creator3d video (ffb2). I had to write my own config file, but the X sources compiled and are running great.

The problem I had was with memory mapping. I use the onboard (PCI) mach64 GT. |

Would you mind terribly much posting a working config for X on sparc? I have a Sun Blade 1000 that I'd like to try running linux on (just to annoy the Sun people here). Has anyone successfully set up gentoo on a Blade, btw? _________________ --

I am getting the xf86mappcimem error too. This is on U5 with on board m64 card (ATI RAGE 3D PRO). Could any one post a good XF86Config file?
One poster mentioned that Debian binary can be used. From where did you get it. Can .deb packages be installed on Gentoo?

Just run XF86Setup, as you would on a PC. Specify a type 5 keyboard, and bus mouse, device /dev/sunmouse. The mmap errors are because the XF86 source has bugs in it regarding Sparc. You can install the .deb by grabbing the dpkg tool, and running the extract command to dump the files. |

I was able to get X working on my ultra10 by using the debian xserver-xfree86_4.2.0-0pre1v1.deb.
I first emerged X, which when ran gave me the xf86mappcimem problem. On top of that I installed the xserver deb.
Code: |
ar -xf xserver-xfree86_4.2.0-0pre1v1.deb
tar zxvf data.tar.gz
cp -R usr/* /usr
|
My Ultra10 has an ATI Mach64 GP board in it. I thought I would go ahead and post my XF86Config file since no one else has.

I have X running from ebuild also, on my Ultra 1 with CG6 graphics card (aka Turbo GX I think). Getting my keymap correct was the most painful part. It can take a long time for X to start up so don't give up too soon. Sorry if all this is old news...
My XF86Config is as follows.

I've managed to get X more or less running on my Ultra 5 with the onboard PGX24 (ATI Rage 3D).
There is an annoying thing however, every few seconds the screen blanks and then comes back.
Any ideas as to what might be causing this? I was wondering whether it was related to a sync problem between the Monitor and the card. I have a 19" Vision Master Pro 451 and I'm running 1600x1200 8-bit @75Hz, which I believe is a pre-set mode on the monitor.
The monitor works fine at that mode under x86.
I'm using more or less the XF86Config given above, except my board rev is 0x7c |

Hey all,
The pcimemmap errors should be no more. I posted a fix to it a while back, which should have been included. It's the pci_domains fix by Dave Miller. Be sure you emerge of X includes this patch, I believe the name of it is pci_domains100.
Anyhow, feel free to email if you have any problems,
Joshua

So I recently upgraded X to 4.3.0 un by sunblade 100 this weekend, and now I can't seem to get any resolution higher than 640x480 to work. My config file is the exact same as it is above (posted a while ago). I tried re-running XFree86 -configure again, but it comes up with the same issue. When trying to run X, forcing it to something higher than 640x480, i get the following error:
(EE) Screens(s) fournd, but none have a usuable configuration.
fatal server error:
No screens found.
Anyone seen this before? everything works perfectly when I let it use 640x480, including the mouse. |

I think you have to play with the hsync and vsync, and if the x is getting those value from ddc, you can disable it (can't remember which option exactely)

Well, I tried your XF86Config file, and it did not work for me either. After modifying the HorizSync and Vertrefresh values to be correct for my monitor, I was able to reach 1024x768, but nothing higher. My monitor (a 'Sun' (sony) GDM-5410) should be able to reach 1600x1200.
I noticed that the monitor's OSD indicated a hsync & vrefresh that seemed out of line for the resolution. I tried using gtf to generate a modeline for 1024x768 70hz, put that in and the OSD indicated an hsync of about 115 and a vert refresh of 144. It's almost like the value is doubled from what is specified by the modeline.
Weird, eh? I'm still looking at the issue here.
