results using xfree86 4.1.0-0pre1v1 on sparc
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.

Hrm, yes. I can't think of how this is possible, but all the logic for
writing/overwriting this file is in Bourne shell. See
/var/lib/dpkg/info/xserver-xfree86.{config,postinst}.
It's not a conffile, BTW.

If someone can kindly explain to me exactly how to cover the possible
scenarios (port + protocol), I'll add code for it.
My UltraSPARC is a Donovan machine and thus physically resembles an ATX
Intel machine more than anything else.

You probably have a type4/type5/type6/whatever keyboard. I don't yet have
any debconf templates for XKB configuration.

Since the source package is gzipped, and contains a gzipped tar file, I doubt rsync will do much good. Sorry :(. Also, since I forgot to rip out the non-free Type1 fonts, this isn't even the same .orig I will be using for 4.1.0-1. -- G.

Sorry :(. Maybe when I unpack the source (at work) and then rsync the gzipped tar file? Or the ungzipped tar file? Anything that would keep me from squeezing it through the phone... But then I'd have to setup an rsync server? Which would probably not work either... When do you plan to release 4.1.0? Christian -- http://people.debian.org/~cts/

What you could try is uncompressing the new source at work and what you have at home on your home machine in such a way that the two trees more or less agree (w.r.t. directory structure) and then do an rsync. You don't need to set up an rsync server, it can work through rsh or ssh as well. Also remember to pass rsync its dandy compression switch. man rsync is your friend. -- charl p. botha | computer graphics and cad/cam http://cpbotha.net/ | http://www.cg.its.tudelft.nl/

Sorry :(. Maybe when I unpack the source (at work) and then rsync the gzipped tar file? Or the ungzipped tar file? Anything that would keep me from squeezing it through the phone... But then I'd have to setup an rsync server? Which would probably not work either... When do you plan to release 4.1.0?

What you could try is uncompressing the new source at work and what you have at home on your home machine in such a way that the two trees more or less agree (w.r.t. directory structure) and then do an rsync. You don't need to set up an rsync server, it can work through rsh or ssh as well. Also remember to pass rsync its dandy compression switch. man rsync is your friend. -- charl p. botha | computer graphics and cad/cam http://cpbotha.net/ | http://www.cg.its.tudelft.nl/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

You need to use /dev/sunmouse (devfs or not), and set the mouse type to BusMouse. This needs to be an option on sparc, Branden.
