Hello all,
I have just installed Gutsy on a sun blade, but can't seem to get Gnome or KDE running. I'm pretty new to Linux and could be missing something obvious. I think there is a problem with my video driver and xorg.conf file. When I try to start xorg this is the output:

I've read some other posts that suggest there may not be a proper driver for the XVR-500, so I tried vga and vsa, but I get similar output when I try these - no screens found. Perhaps I am not specifying the video card correctly in the xorg.conf file?
Thanks in advance.
