Multiple domain sparc xorg

[didijeeeke]

Hey ,

After long google search i am stil nowhere.

I try to get X working on my sun ultra 80.

I found out Xorg wil not scan or support pci cards on the seconds domain.

with multiple domains i mean :

00001:00:01.0
00000:00:10.0

mayby there is a way to get xorg use the secondary domain.

i saw on the changelog of xorg 7.2 (the version i use) that support for multiple domain was added.
Mayby the ubuntu package team removed this support or mayby there is a problem but when i use:


X -scanpci

it still shows me the fisrt domain 00000 only.

I gave up the domain part so i did put my pci card in the 66 pci slot ( the first domain)

But no luck .. i configured the xserver to use glint driver it detects the card but it can't get it to work.

Resource conficts is all i get.
And some errors i tipe in google but looks like i am the first one to get them

My card is a pgx32 permedia 2.

My question is how do i get this card to work or how do i get xorg to use the secondary domain.

I want to use the secondary domain so i can use my other pci video cards that don't fit in the 66 slot.

Thanks, and please help i don't like solaris and would love to use gnome on my sun.

I am having the exact same problem, and would love an answer to this. I've been trying to get ubuntu on the machine for a while now and I'm about to give up and just put solaris on the damn thing.

Just tried to put solaris on it, hardware error! who wants this enterprise 250 before I throw it out the window lol!

i also installed solaris 10.

And it worked but i like ubuntu

i don't have a mouse so i would like to use synergy.

In ubuntu a 3 seconds command line job but in solaris i don't even know where to start.

i found on the internet older Xfree versions do work can anyone confirm this ?

Yes, I have installed Debian on my E250 with the same video card and it works with Xfree86.

Check out this thread if you have not already.

I pretty much gave up on getting X to work. However, your posts have sparked a renewed interest in the matter. I will post if I figure anything out.
