As an aside, I have one of these XVR-300 cards in my Ultra45 and I'm planing to fix up several other problems I've seen. For example, with acceleration enabled, the card locks up shortly after starting to bootup with current kernels. After talking with the radeon fb driver maintainers, the thinking is that the card initialization code in the kernel fb driver is simply out of date and needs to be made more in sync with what the XORG driver uses. That's a lot of work, so don't expect any progress in this area for several weeks. So, for now, put only one card into the machine and disable console output acceleration on the kernel command line. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe sparclinux" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
