Hi, New Gentoo install on a Sun Ultra 1/170E with suncg6 video (not sure where the factory Creator card is, but it didn't make it to me). startx fails (did "emerge gnome" after emerging the base X install): moora jim # startx xauth: creating new authority file /root/.serverauth.13583 X.Org X Server 1.6.5 Release Date: 2009-10-11 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0 Build Operating System: Linux 2.6.31-gentoo-r10 sparc64 Current Operating System: Linux moora 2.6.31-gentoo-r10 #5 Fri Apr 2 00:53:29 UTC 2010 sparc64 Build Date: 02 April 2010 10:26:37PM Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.x.org to make sure that you have the latest version.

Actual Results: As above. Expected Results: A beautiful screen o' Gnome! FTP site on x.org has a 1.1.1 driver (Gentoo driver is 1.1.0). Unsure of differences or suitability.
xf86-video-suncg6-1.1.1 is already in the tree, for stabilization status see bug 308521. If you do not want to wait add the stabilization list from bug 226171 to /etc/portage/package.keywords .
Attachment 226171 [details] I meant. Fixed in x11-base/xorg-drivers-1.7
1.1.1 suncg6 video driver now available, but I have the same conflict when attempting to emerge: === moora etc # emerge x11-drivers/xf86-video-suncg6 Calculating dependencies... done!

I added the stabilization line as discussed below. The conflict still exists. Thanks much.
It is fixed only in xorg-drivers-1.7, not in xorg-drivers-1.6
Thanks - I missed that last part about the new xorg-drivers. Marked it as permissible, installed, and now I'm good to go. Will test function when I'm home this evening. Thanks for your help.
