I gave the new modular xorg-x11 a try, any idea how to resolve this?

You must also:
Load "cfb"
Load "cfb32"
in your xorg.conf file.

Thanks, that fixed that issue. Now when I try X -config xorg.conf.new -depth
8 my system locks up... monitor sleeps and ssh dies... have to turn it off.
Not good, anyway I was just trying to see what X would look like on this
system :-(

Kurt

Only possible depth with sunffb is 24. What is your video card?

I could be going about this all wrong...

dmesg shows cg6: CGsix [TGX+ sparc]

OK. cg6 wants depth=8. And please take sunffb or other drivers out of
your xorg.conf file. You really don't want to load them. cg6 does
require the cfb modules, so leave them. With that, cg6 is not hard to
configure, because if I recall correctly, it ignores most options except
for dpms. If you still have problems, please provide some further
details: What system are you on, what is your monitor, etc. I know
that cg6 works with xorg-6.8.2, but I haven't checked it for X-modular
(xorg-x11-7.0-rxx).

Hmm, well testing this is getting hairy... it locks up my system and I have to
turn it off... then manually fsck... not nice... in no way should X every
lock up the entire system...
Perhaps my kernel is not setup correct?!?
I tested changing some things in the xorg.conf, but nothing changed.

I'm open to suggestions... esp how to test this w/o locking up my system.

What IS your system? And what is your monitor? I have attached a
working xorg.conf for an SS20/cg6 system running a 2.4 kernel.

That didn't work. I'm running a 2.6 kernel. Machine is an E3000.

I realize that I just went through something similar (on a non-sparc
system). Try something simple: Copy your xorg.conf.new to
/etc/X11/xorg.conf and just try 'xinit'. If you have a sun keyboard, you
might want to make sure the keyboard definition is similar to this:
======================
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
# Option "Protocol" "Standard"
Option "XkbModel" "type5"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
EndSection
=====================================
(I think X -config xorg.conf.new can only give you a black screen, because
it has no applications to run. Please also check /var/log/Xorg.0.log for
errors. Using xinit should give you an xterm on a black screen, assuming
you have built xterm.)

Regards,
Ferris

It is not giving me a black screen, it is crashing my entire system. :-(
Your suggestion didn't work... something is quite wrong. /var/log/Xorg.0.log
is empty which is strange. Nothing in /var/log/messages.
Thanks for you help though,

To recap:
With kernel 2.6.16, the suncg6 does not work with either xorg-x11 6.8.x nor
7.0.x.
With kernel 2.4.32-sparc, suncg6 works with both versions of xorg.

So I'll stick with 2.4.x kernel for now.

Thanks for the help,
Kurt
