I have a question: Are RADEON and Rage128 supports need on SPARC currently? Some some SPARC workstation/server uses RADEON and/or Rage128? I know some SPARC workstations (e.g Ultra5) use mach64 graphic chip. So, we need mac64 support. We should not drop ati mac64 drivers. But I don't know RADEON or Rage128 graphic borad for SPARC. If RADEON/Rage128 board for SPARC does exist, we need more hack to support these (but I don't have the board and enough time to do this...). >> Almost every driver uses vgaHW, how are the others handled on sparc? These are all of the XFree86 graphic drivers for SPARC: ati_drv.o atimisc_drv.o r128_drv.o radeon_drv.o fbdev_drv.o glint_drv.o sunbw2_drv.o suncg14_drv.o suncg3_drv.o suncg6_drv.o sunffb_drv.o sunleo_drv.o suntcx_drv.o Only r128_drv.o and radeon_drv.o does use vgaHw calls. >> I see a number of better solutions: >> >> - guard the vgaHW calls in the drivers >> - build/fix/implement vgaHW on sparc (no, it doesn't require legacy >> hardware) >> - ... Yes, I think they are better solution if radeon and r128 support are needed on SPARC. -- ISHIKAWA Mutsumi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
