Will Gentoo run on my SPARC?

Gentoo Linux Documentation -- Gentoo Linux/SPARC Frequently ...
It depends on the type of SPARC, but chances are yes. One exception seems to be the SPARC based laptops from Tadpole, particularly the newer models. If you have a working Tadpole on Gentoo/SPARC, please contact us and let us know the details on the model and anything special needed to get it to work. The Gentoo/SPARC team maintains a hardware compatibility list for SPARC64 systems.

What additional hardware is supported ?

UltraLinux FAQ
Sun workstations and servers up and untill the Ultra-2 uses internally the SBUS, Ultra-5 and later uses (normal) PCI. Only the Ethernet part on combined SCSI/HME PCI cards can be used. Devices are recognized by the OBP, but not by the kernel. Use the Xsun24 X server with the "-noFFB" option to disable acceleration, or if you have the Solaris driver, see the related question in Section "Running".

What hardware is supported?

ServoMaster: Frequently Asked Questions
Two generic classes of controllers are supported: serial and USB. Specific list is: Serial: FerretTronics FT639; USB: However, a lot of attention was paid to making the code as abstract and reusable as possible, therefore, writing a driver for a new device should take just a few days, if not hours.

I'm interested in becoming more involved with Gentoo/SPARC. How do I go about doing that?

Gentoo Linux Documentation -- Gentoo Linux/SPARC Frequently ...
The best way is to join the #gentoo-sparc IRC channel on Freenode IRC network irc.freenode.net. This is where all of the developers hang out and talk SPARC (amongst other things). Short of email, this is the best way to get our attention, and blame seemant! :) Also, many users and developers make use of the Gentoo/SPARC forum. This is a good place to ask questions and see what problems have come up before, as well as talk shop about Gentoo/SPARC.

Will the gentoo installer configure my such and such hardware for me?

Gentoo Linux Documentation -- Gentoo Linux Installer Frequen...
No. The installer will only do what is covered in the install guide. The only thing that may be configured for you is xorg. When the LiveCD boots into X, a xorg.conf is automatically generated. If you choose xorg-x11 (or anything that depends on it) as an extra package to install, the /etc/X11/xorg.conf from the LiveCD will be automatically copied into your new install.

The Linux Kernel
A minimal Linux installation requires a machine for which a port exists, at least 2Mb of RAM, and a single floppy drive, but to do anything even remotely useful, more RAM and disk space are needed. Refer to: Ports to Other Processors, What are the Disk Space Requirements for Minimal, Server, and Workstation Use?, and What are the Minimum and Maximum Memory Requirements?. Intel CPU, PC-compatible machines require at least an 80386 processor to run the standard Linux kernel.

FAQ for isdn4linux: hardware: Supported hardware, its specia...
Only internal cards that plug into an ISA or PCI slot are supported. ISA Plug&Play cards are also supported, but need some additional manual configuration by means of the isapnptools. For details on the configuration see question config_pnp. Internal cards may be active, semi-active, or passive. Unless you have paid big money, assume you have a passive card. More about the difference: see question hardware_activepassive.

FAQ for isdn4linux: general: General information about isdn4...
Generally, isdn4linux can control ISDN cards that are connected to the PC's ISA or PCI bus. Also a few PCMCIA cards are supported. However, isdn4linux can not make use of any devices connected via a serial or parallel interface (which are called 'terminal adaptors'), with only a few exceptions: the Creatix/Teles S0 box for the parallel port, and the Gazel 128 USB. For more details on which cards are supported see section hardware.

Is the sound hardware on the IBM ThinkPad supported?

Answers To Frequently Asked Questions
Information on how to use the mwave sound card on an IBM ThinkPad laptop computer can be found in the file /usr/src/linux/Documentation/sound/mwave, which is part of the kernel source distribution (note that not all IBM ThinkPads use the MWAVE sound chip). Some old 8-bit SoundBlaster cards have no mixer circuitry. Some sound applications insist on being able to open the mixer device, and fail with these cards. Jens Werner (werner@bert.emv.ing.tu-bs.

What hardware is supported by GGI?

GGI FAQ
Frankly, nobody really knows for sure. You can look at the devel tree under degas/kgicon/kgi and see if the driver for the card is there. Most drivers probably at least compile and work somewhat, some better than others. We do however appreciate any success/bug reports if you do try to use KGIcon. Make a kernel with fbcon support. Compile in all renderers. If compiling VESAfb, do not activate it at boot time. Now your screen should switch to an ugly 640x400x1 mode or some other.
