Debian on SparcStation 5 - XF86 problems



Hello, I recently installed Debian 3.1 for Sparc on an unexpanded
SparcStation 5. The system works perfectly except for the fact that
there is no X. When I try to use startx it replies with "command not
found" even though it is installed, and when I use ./X in the /etc/X11
directory it scrolls through a few screens of text then gives me a "No
Screens Found" error. I am aware this is a driver issue, but need to
know the driver to use with an unexpanded SS5. I have searched the
Debian help and found no useful results. Any help would be greatly
appreciated.
