I just tried the Etch debian-installer RC1 on a Sun Ultra 80
and I believe this bug is relevant there.
Alas the current workaround is using the fbdev driver - but display
depths of 24 and 16 didn't work, so it is currently 1280x1024x8 bits :(
The kernel reports:
fb0: Permedia2v frame buffer device, memory = 8192K.
I'm not sure that is right, I thought it would be more like 64M, but
xserver-xorg doesn't seem to accept my value for VideoRam, and
runs with a blank screen unless at depth 8.
