Re: [gentoo-sparc] Gentoo 1.4; X 4.2 problems on sun4u.

There is a patch by davem for 4.2.1, see bug # 7790 on Gentoo's bugzilla.
Just copy the file in place at files/4.2.1-patches and it should be
employed automatically.

Then emerge the 4.2.1 ebuild (it's masked so can't emerge it with 'emerge
xfree') and it should work fine on the ATI.

However, I have this issue: with my Ultra 10 which has 2 VGA ports (Elite
3d and an ATI) I can't get the ATI to work, it says 'Adapter not
initialized'. perhaps this is a kernel issue?

Because of this I haven't looked further at the Elite3D card so I don't
know if it works yet.

I wish debian didn't patch the original upstream file so we could re-use
debian's patches more easily, all these things were fixed way before we
heard about them. I remember now why I dislike that distro :).

cheers,
maarten
