Hi..!!!

I have installed successfully Ubuntu Dapper 6.06.1 in a Sun Ultra 1, but can't confgure xorg.

First: The autodetection of my videocard fails Second: I don't now what video card I have... (how can I see what videocard I have whithout open the machine..?) Third: Therefore, I don't now what driver is for my video card... Four: The lspci doesn't work... (appears nothing)

How can I configure the xorg on this machine...? ....help please.

PD: I use Linux (RedHat, Debian, SuSE, Mandriva, etc) for long time on i386 ...but i really newbie on this architecture... :-(

Try with the information from this thread (scroll down to see the later posts). There acutally *gasp* is a search function in these forums! ;)

If your box has a Creator card which runs with the sunffb driver, it will work.
