Subject: OpenBSD/sparc64 X support
Date: Friday, February 8, 2002 - 3:56 pm

The latest sparc64 snapshot going out to the mirrors now contains new

support for running X on sparc64 consoles.  Some stuff doesn't quite

work yet, but that's the nature of a huge brand new feature...


What works:

	Framebuffers:

		pci: vga (ATI) framebuffers (must be prom console)

		sbus: cgsix, cgthree

	Keyboards:

		usb: sun type 6

		sbus: sun type 3/4/5/6 on zs

		pci: sun type 3/4/5/6 on com

	Mice:

		usb: any usb mouse will do

		sbus: sun on zs

		pci: sun on com


What doesn't work:

	- accelerated X servers

	- xdm (coredumps) [xinit or startx can be used to start the server]

	- ico (hangs X server)

	- probably more stuff like this...


I'm interested in having folks help find and fix problems in X, which is

why the snapshot is going out now... So, if you've been wanting X on

your OpenBSD/sparc64 machine, grab the snapshot and start sending

patches...
