Just aquired an ultra5

its currently emerging system (initial install) and nothing is busticated yet

my question is,

ive got the onboard pgx24 graphics set... what X driver am I going to want to use?

will it support DRI/OpenGL ?

also, I'm using a type6 keyboard/mouse ... any known issues?


My other Sparc64 box is an ultra1 which runs gentoo happily, Im glad to say, but its a totally differant beast from the ultra5 which I dont have much experience with yet....

hows PCI support with the ultra5? will most stuff (specifically, a realtek ethernet nic) usually work if its supported in linux?

other tips/warnings/thoughts?

This is the graphics driver I use: (heck, just gonna snippet it..)

Code:

Section "Device"
    Identifier  "ATI Mach64 3D Rage Pro"
    Driver      "ati"
    #VideoRam    4096
    # Insert Clocks lines here if appropriate
EndSection


There is no support for DRI/OpenGL though.

PCI Support is pretty good... I've only tried a couple of scsi cards so far, and kernel modules compiled fine and worked. Pretty much anything that shows up in the kernel config *should* work.
