I am running Ubuntu Server SPARC build 6.06.1 on a Sun Enterprise 250. Since I am not too good in the text-based department I decided to install Ubuntu Desktop (using sudo apt-get ubuntu-desktop). The install seemed to go fine, but when I tried to startx I received a Fatal Server Error: No Screens Found. I have been doing a lot of research on this problem for the past few days to figure out some sort of resolution, but nothing has worked. I figure it has something to do with the display driver. I took the case out and found that I have what I think is a PGX32 Framebuffer card. Different posts have said that the glint driver should work for this card. Well I'm here to say I've used every driver, including the glint driver, listed in the xorg config tool, but all of them give me the same error, including the vesa and vga drivers. I did an lspci -X to find that the card is listed on PCI:0:5:0 under the name "3DLabs Permedia II 2D+3D", so I have been typing this in during the configuration. I'm really at a loss. I have every ubuntu upgrade and update posted. Does anyone have any ideas?
Here is my xorg.conf:

Fatal server error:
no screens foundI originally posted this in the General Help section, but I figure I would get more response in this section. On top of the things listed in this post I have tried running sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg several times, trying every driver listed in the config. I also tried running X -probeonly which switches to a blue screen with the following message:
The X server is now disabled. Restart GDM when it is configured correctly.
After that it returns to the console with Fatal server error: No screens found.
I tried running sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart just for kicks and it did the same thing.
