After a bit posting at comp.sys.sun.hardware I found a person with an Ultra60 using Creator3D (UPA) too on it, he had a working X. He did run kernel 2.6.8, so today I did install 2.6.8.1 (vanilla) and tested Xorg and it worked as well as it does under 2.4.x. I guess there has been some bad change in the sparc kernel code somewhere between 2.6.8.1 and 2.6.13. I can say that 2.6.15.1 still "crashes" the kernel. I don't know if there has been any discussion if it's the small amount of UPA relatad code that causes the problem or not, but I think it's plausible that the UPA code has been "damaged" in the later versions of the kernel. -- //Aho ------------------------------------------------------------------------ E-Mail: trizt@iname.com URL: http://www.kotiaho.net/~trizt/ ICQ: 13696780 System: Linux System (PPC7447/1000 AMD K7A/2000) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ EU forbids you to send spam without my permission ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
