[SPARCbook] Re: No luck on X configuration

Here's the data.  First, where I found it:

From: /proc/openprom/iommu at 0,10000000/sbus at 0,10001000/p9000 at 0,100000$ 

$ ls
address  character-set  check-resolution  cmsize  device_type  external  
external-intr  height  intr  name  reg  width

Contents of selected files:

address:			fed00000
check-resolution:	00000001
cmsize:			00000100
external:			00000000
external-intr:		00000001
height:			000001e0
width:			00000280
intr:				00000032.00000000
name:			'p9000'

The file "reg" has a list of values in it:
00000000.00100000.00001000.00000000.00180000.00002000.00000004.01380000.00000008.00000004.013c0000.00000004.00000000.00200000.00200000.00000004.013e0000.00000400.00000004.01900000.00000001

I know virtually nothing about display hardware.  I hope this is sufficient 
information for troehr at nj-onramp.com to do his voodoo.

I've never been a Linux kernel hacker, but I'm a competent C programmer.  
Would it make sense for me to grab a recent 2.4.x kernel and go hunting for 
the framebuffer code?  Or would I just plain be begging for trouble?
