Hello, that was the first thing I tried however there is no VGA signal
on machfb. I managed to get IP address assigned to this machine from
DHCP server, logged in via ssh and looked at the logs. Looks like X
server has problems configuring framebuffer device.

So I generated xorg.conf manually with 'X -configure' and it thinks I
have 3 cards:

        Identifier  "Card0"
        Driver      "mach64"
        BusID       "PCI:1:2:0"

        Identifier  "Card1"
        Driver      "fbdev"
        BusID       "PCI:1:2:0"

        Identifier  "Card2"
        Driver      "vesa"
        BusID       "PCI:1:2:0"


This looks wrong to me, one of them should be using sunffb driver. And
why all three drivers refer to the same BusID?

I tried copying this file to /etc/X11/xorg.conf and leaving only 

        Identifier  "Card1"
        Driver      "sunffb"
        BusID       "PCI:1:2:0"

But still can't get X11 running

Any ideas?
