In that case, I was able to get a working display with the PGX64 only when using syscons. The XVR-100 is, of course, not supported with syscons on sparc64 as there's no framebuffer available for it. When using vt as the console, attempts by X.org to mmap either device returned errno 22 (EINVAL). So, I've got a working display at the moment, but there are some take-away items here: 1 - It appears that the X.org mach64 and ati drivers do not work with vt on sparc64, at least when not accelerated. My guess (just speculation here) is that vt isn't allow mmap'ing /dev/ttyv0. Not sure if this is a platform-specific bug / todo or intentional design. 1a - If it's a platform-specific bug or to-do, then we can close this bug out and I'll open a new one to get it fixed, and start coding away at that. 1b - If it's intentional design, we need to document it somewhere that sparc64 users can easily get to it, like release notes or hardware notes. 2 - I'd like to solicit the input and assistance of the FreeBSD DRI1 / DRI2 folks to determine a best path forward for supporting a wider variety of X.org graphics options on sparc64. Having just a single model of graphics card with a paltry 8MB of RAM, unaccelerated, isn't going to cut it. I'm more than willing to code for this, but want to make sure it's done in a way that has some longevity. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
