Hi,
I spent most of the day recompiling X and what not.
All the patches applied cleanly, there are some rejects with MESA,
but I think that has to do with tags and comments at the beginning of
files.
Everything compiled fine, and the module loads, now I just need to
get my hands on quake2 :)

There seems to be good support for the Nvidia RivaTNT chipset,

Hello,
Below are links to the sparc64 port I've been working on, which
I'd like to commit.
The way I started the port was to make stub versions of all the
machine dependent functions in the kernel, which panic with an
informative message when called. Given minimal startup code and
console suppo

I'm working on converting some of the older drivers to newbus and
need hardware or testers to verify that this stuff still works.
If you have any of the hardware listed below and are willing to
either loan it to me or be a guinea pig, please let me know.
