I've been trying to get X working on this Sun Enterprise 420R forever I keep getting "Signal10" when I start X, then it dies... I've also tried fbdev instead of ati. This just leaves me w/ a black screen, I think the server is still alive (I can ping. and can turn caps/scroll/num lock on and off, but ctrl+alt+backsp doesn't kill X. Leaving me no choice but to Turn the Key. Also tried "vesa" and "vga" also resulting in "Signal 10"

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanx in advance.

Heres the info:

I can't comment on the PGX24 problem, but I can comment on a couple other things. You do not say what kernel you are using, but whether it's 2.4.xx or 2.6.xx, your combination of Mouse specification and Keyboard is unlikely to be successful.

  • If you are using kernel-2.4 and a sun (compatible) keyboard, you need to use the 'keyboard' driver: 'kbd' gives unpleasant results. See samples at http://dev.gentoo.org/~fmccor/docs/xorg/xorg.conf/xorg.conf.html
  • Your Mouse specification is not quite correct for either kernel: If 2.4.xx, use Protocol "MouseSystems"; if 2.6.xx, the Device is "/dev/input/mice". Review the samples mentioned above.


I don't see why either problem would cause the Signal 10; for that, look around some more for a posted xorg.conf known to work with PGX24 or perhaps ask on #gentoo-sparc (IRC freenode channel).

Hope this is of some use.
Regards,
Ferris

Whoops, sorry, I'm using sparc-sources 2.4.29

I haven't gotten a chance to sit down at that box yet today (lotsa fire drills today)
I will try looking at your suggestions when I can buy a little time.

Thanks again.

Well I never had any luck getting X to work under Sparc-Sources 2.4.29

But I went ahead and went with Gentoo-Sources 2.6.11-r4

I now see a new video driver available in menuconfig: Mach64GX

That seemed to do the trick....well sort of.... the display is god-awful, kind of interesting though... some chars.
Don't even show up on screen (such as -) some charachters show up double (such as o shows up as oo )

But X does start now.... (It looks even worse than the Frame Buffer)

PGX64 is an m64 of some type. Beyond that, I can't say much at this point, but you might want to review this framebuffer documentation for ideas: http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-0438?q=PGX64&a=load

Sorry I can't be of more help, but I don't have a PGX64, and I don't know what one is.
Regards,
Ferris
