Here's my preliminary results.
Sparc Ultra5
Woody fully up-to-date
video: 3D RAGE (GT) [0x4754 rev 0x9a] 2M SGRAM, 14.31818 MHz XTAL, 200 MHz PLL,
version tested: xfree86 4.1.0-0pre1v1
Operative Packages: xserver-xfree86, xserver-common, upgraded
from the 3.3.6 X11 packages
During configuration of xserver-xfree86, ati is not offered as a
card driver choice; worked around by configuring for fbdev then
changing the configuration file afterwards
After installation of the packages, despite being asked the questions,
I was strangely left w/o an /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file. Running
'dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86' and running thru the packages again
managed to install that conffile though. Wierd.
During configuration of mouse, was not offered /dev/sunmouse.
Am confused on what the mouse protocol is called in XF86 v4. The
sunmouse is not mentioned in
/usr/share/doc/xserver-xfree86/README.mouse.gz .
Switched over to serial mouse for now to workaround.
Was left with both
InputDevice "Configured Mouse"
InputDevice "Generic Mouse"
in XF86Config-4. That caused crashes.
On starting X server, keyboard seems totally fudged. All keys
remapped to garbage, unable to escape with Ctrl-Alt-Bksp or
Ctrl-Alt-F1, had to ssh into the box and kill the window manager
manually.
Below is a diff of the changes I manually made to XF86Config-4.
Let me know how else I can help. Please CC me on replies, I'm not on
this list.
