Hello all, Just got another TGX+. This is specifically the 501-2955 revision. I am trying this in my IPX. I set “output-device screen:r1280x1024x76” - and I can tell the OBP console comes up in this res. However trying to boot NetBSD 10.1 - the kernel spins its numbers, and as soon as it would have started displaying boot info - the monitor resyncs (?) and the screen goes white. No disk activity after this. I can only assume it’s locked up. I also tried this in stock “screen” setenv (i.e. 1152x864) and get the same behavior. I have a 501-2253 TGX+ in my SS10 that works just fine (boots, console, X11, etc). Is this a known issue ? I can try Solaris 7 as well on the IPX later today. Also let me know if there’s value in swapping the cards from SS10 <-> IPX. That’s kind of a pain but I will do it if there is value in testing it. Thanks.
