The latest sparc64 snapshot going out to the mirrors now contains new support for running X on sparc64 consoles. Some stuff doesn't quite work yet, but that's the nature of a huge brand new feature... What works: Framebuffers: pci: vga (ATI) framebuffers (must be prom console) sbus: cgsix, cgthree Keyboards: usb: sun type 6 sbus: sun type 3/4/5/6 on zs pci: sun type 3/4/5/6 on com Mice: usb: any usb mouse will do sbus: sun on zs pci: sun on com What doesn't work: - accelerated X servers - xdm (coredumps) [xinit or startx can be used to start the server] - ico (hangs X server) - probably more stuff like this... I'm interested in having folks help find and fix problems in X, which is why the snapshot is going out now... So, if you've been wanting X on your OpenBSD/sparc64 machine, grab the snapshot and start sending patches... --Jason L. Wright
