Subject: [suse-sparc] Question about SuSE 7.3 Sparc

    Hi,

    I have just installed SuSE 7.3 SPARC on what appears to be an unnamed Sun
    Clone (well, all the chips inside are Sun's, processor is Ultra Sparc 248
    Mhz, and 512MB RAM - not bad).

    Installation went smooth, with 1 problem: sax2 simply refuse to configure my
    video card which is nothing more then a simple ATI Rage Pro card...

    from the lspci:

    00:02.0 Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc 264VT [Mach64 VT] (rev 40)
            Subsystem: LSI Logic Corp. / Symbios Logic Inc. (formerly NCR):
    Unknown device 0000
            Flags: stepping, medium devsel, IRQ 6801664
            Memory at 000001ff81000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16M]
            I/O ports at 2010500 [size=256]
            Expansion ROM at 0000000080010000 [disabled] [size=64K]

    To me it looks like an ATI Rage pro card. Does anyone knows a way to configure
    this card with XFree? anyone got a working copy of the config file maybe? :)

    I would like also to ask please:

    1. Is there somewhere an XFree 4.2 RPMS for SuSE 7.3/Sparc?
    2. How can I become a beta tester for SuSE 8.0 (or is it 8.1 now?) for the
    Sparc version?
    3. Is there a place (something like redhat's "rawhide", or like Mandrake's
    "cooker") where I can find the latest (although unsupported) RPMS for SuSE
    7.3 - like gcc-3.1, qt-3.0.5 etc?

    Thanks a lot.
