Ok, I'll try an emerge --sync and see if it picks up the latest suncg6 driver.
Guys, I know this has been a pain and I thank you all for your help.

Ok, version 1.1.1 of suncg6 is not in Portage yet. Also I had to add "x11-drivers/xf86-video-vesa ~*" to my package.keywords to get the vesa driver to install because it is not approved for sparc yet, so there are no guarantees it will even run.
I will do some experimenting and get back to ya.

I got it running today, using 1.1.0 of the suncg6 driver.
I think what finally did it was a recompile of the xorg server with HAL enabled and properly telling it to use the suncg6 video driver.
Here is the xorg.conf I ended up running with successfully:
| Code: | Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "X.org Configured"
Screen 0 "Screen0"
Option "BlankTime" "0"
EndSection
Section "Files"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/misc/"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/Type1/"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/100dpi/"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/75dpi/"
EndSection
Section "Module"
Load "extmod"
Load "dbe"
Load "record"
Load "xtrap"
#Load "freetype"
#Load "type1"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "Sun Microsystems"
#Option "dpms" "on"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Card0"
Driver "suncg6"
BusID "SBUS:/sbus@1f,0/cgsix@0,0"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Card0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 8
SubSection "Display"
Modes "1024x768"
Depth 8
EndSubSection
EndSection
|
I had to add the DefaultDepth back to the Screen section because it tries unsuccessfully to come up in 24-bit mode without it.
Thank you all again for your help.
