The resolution set via the Open Firmware screen environment variable only has an impact on the console and for X with Creator (3D) and Elite 3D cards (for which no public documentation and not open source mode setting code exists), but not on X when using xf86-video-ati. > As you see in the logfile, modules are disabled then enabled. > The card is detected. > I also set Options "AllowEmptyInput" "Off" so it wouldn't disable devices.

As I said before and as is also suggested in your Xorg.0.log you need to set reference_clock, IIRC for an Rage XL you'll need: Option "reference_clock" "28.636 MHz" in the "Device" section of xorg.conf, but it also might be 29.5 MHz. > In theory, the screen should be active; but, in reality a lot of modules > load with no result. This shouldn't matter; you'll see similar things on f.e. amd64/i386 when drm(4) isn't available etc. > 1) Do I need to disable the framebuffer in xorg.conf or by sysctl?

I'm not sure what you are asking for here; what you should do once output basically works is to add modelines for the resolutions you're using according to the specification of CRT in order to get maximum refresh rates. There's nothing sparc64-specific here, just follow one of the usual guides/modline calculators. > 3) Do I need to run -v 9 when running X -config *new?

My guess would be the intention is to use VT 9, which already should be the default though. Marius
