Sun XVR 600
by Lubos Kocman
Hello,
is there any way to get Xorg working with XVR 600 gpu? I only get this
gpu working under Solaris/Xsun. But as far as I know neither under linux
or solaris / Xorg has driver for this gpu.
If somebody know about some 3rd party driver that may work, please let
me know.

Fedora 12 Beta
by Dennis Gilmore
I have pushed a fedora 12 beta sparc tree the master mirror, you can find one
close to you Here under /releases/test/12-Beta/sparc/ the tree is pretty much
complete. there are a few broken deps that need resolving. Partitioning is
fragile. it mostly works however sometimes you will be best off to do manual
partitioning in rescue mode or breaking out into a shell.
Here is a quick list of some of the issues you might hit and workarounds.
serial console install - to have a console on the serial port post install
pass "console=ttyS0,9600" to the installer
serial console install - to do any customisation at all you need to use vnc
sunblade systems with qlogic hba's for primary storage - Make sure that you do
a graphical install (vnc or local X) or kickstart and include "hardware
support" this is so that you have the firmware for your primary storage
install blowing up at partitioning - parted doesnt seem to like old parted
disk labels. in rescue mode "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX bs=512 count=2" where
X == the valuse of each disk
partitioning is fragile - simple partitioning works fine more complicated
setups might require you to manual use parted to setup the partitioning you
want and then choosing custom partitiing and allocate as you need to
less than 512mb ram - using vnc you may get OOM during package install. you
will need to either do a default install or select a smaller package set
repo issues when installing - There is not repos exactly as anaconda wants
when doing a netinstall. you can pass repo="path to mirror" or fix up in the
gui
Oh and partitioning is fragile, it looks like F-13 will be better
And things i've likely forgotten or missed, please drop into #fedora-sparc on
freenode for assistance, questions or feedback.
Thanks Dennis

Ext 4 errors?
by Lamar Owen
Ok, got F12 on the SB1000, thanks to a vnc install (PGX64 support apparently
has some issues, as trying to use local GUI produced a blank display).
Upon first boot, I get a console error about the ext4 journal, and the
filesystem being remounted in ro mode. The firstboot stuff comes up in text mode
(something about not enough memory on the PGX64 for the selected resolution?),
but I can't save any settings because the root filesystem is remounted read-
only.

Serial console terminal type.
by Lamar Owen
Ok, this has been something that has aggravated me for the longest, and finally
I've decided to see what can be done about it.
I've googled all over for this information, and haven't found it yet.
There's lots of information on setting up a serial console, but little to no
information about the terminal type needed for a serial console to properly
show the anaconda interface, even in rescue mode, or when setting up the ip
addressing for vnc installation.
In my case, I'm using minicom set to VT102 mode from a default fedora
'konsole' (F12, konsole 2.4.2, KDE 4.4.2), and I've just getting a little
tired of the 'reverse video question marks' interspersed in the line drawing
characters, which makes it very difficult to use the interface.
I know, just an annoyance, but if it's just a command line parameter (and I
don't find anything at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/Options or
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KernelCommonProblems#How_to_set_kernel_boot...
to tell me anything; I've booted with 'linux rescue serial headless' and the
display is the same as without those options) I'll be glad to add that to the
boot line and keep on trucking.
Or if it's a minicom setting, or simply using a different terminal emulator, to
get reasonable display.....

Problem with Xorg on Sun Blade 150
by diego
Hi at all,
I have installed F12SparcBeta on my Sun Blade 150, with two Ati Rage XL
(rev. 27). If I run X (and GNOME) when I put a mouse pointer on the
border of the desktop area, or make a logout, init 0 or 6, or shutdown,
the system freezing. Why?

I will try it once or twice befove giving up and using silo.
Is the configuration above theoretically correct? I will use /dev/sda1
for /boot .

I expected it to be so.

So actually it does not make any sense to keep development/sparc64 tree?
Anyway switching between 64 and 32 bits with use of yum is not very
difficult. Maybe I will do it once the machine is running. I am copying
my sparc64 tree on my new logical volumes (on top of RAID6 and RAID5
MDs).

I am already there - so I send it there too.

Supported hardware for F12-Beta
by Lamar Owen
Good afternoon, long time no talk.
I am wondering what hardware has been 'tested' with the current F12 beta, and
if there is a current 'supported' (understanding that nothing is really
supported, but more interested in what works) hardware list.... Looking at
trying this out on some of our Sun hardware....which includes a Blade 2000, a
Blade 100, a bunch of U10's and U5's, and E6500, and some ATX UltraSPARC IIi
and IIe motherboards..... and a couple or three E450's.
Just last month we decommissioned our longest running Aurora 1.0 box, which
had been up for several years (Sun Ultra 30) with a rock solid record.
