The Xorg drivers you'll need are listed in one of my previous responses to the list, do a quick archive search to find example config, etc. As for kernel drivers to support a basic type5 setup, you should only need uart, puc, kbd, and sunkbd. These will be included in the kernel via the device entries for puc, uart, and the general console stuff you need (depends which console you're going for, though with the creator device and syscons I've gotten the same kind of performance I'm used to from FreeBSD - which is good.) :-) puc allows demultiplexing on the uart serial port, which is how the Sun pre-USB keyboard/mouse stuff worked. The keyboard is connected directly to the host, and then the mouse to the keyboard, usually all connected to puc1. To give you some idea, here's the dmesg output on an Ultra1 box. uart0: <z8530, channel A> on puc0 uart1: <z8530, channel B> on puc0 uart2: <z8530, channel A> on puc1 uart2: keyboard (1200,n,8,1) uart3: <z8530, channel B> on puc1 As you can see puc0 is the actual physical serial ports on the system (uart0 and uart1), and puc1 is the keyboard/mouse port, which uart2 is the keyboard and uart3 is the mouse.
