--- Comment #6 from gmbroome@vcu.edu ---
(In reply to Jean-Sebastien Pedron from comment #5)

Absolutely.  In fact, I'd already started tinkering with it before filing my
bug report.  I got DRM[1] to build on sparc64, fire up, and present
dev/dri/card* for the radeon and mach64 drivers but hadn't gotten much further.
 That, of course, still ran in to the failure to mmap /dev/ttyv0 on vt since
it's UMS.

Now that I've at least got a working display with the PGX64, even if it's very
underpowered, I'll redirect my efforts into getting DRM2 working on sparc64. 
Is there a specific section under SVN projects for PPC64 DRM2 that I should be
looking at to see the work that's been done there so far?

Side note: IMHO it would still be a good idea to have some obvious, point-blank
note on the sparc64 page, in the interim (since vt is the default now), "hey,
your Xorg graphics drivers probably won't work with vt, and even on syscons you
may need to manually specify BusID info."  That might save future partygoers
some headache and confusion.
