When I use 'X -config xorg.conf.new' the entire machine locks up...
ssh/nfs/everything locks up...  The system reboots itself (usually) and fsck the
HDs... not nice... I'm open to suggestions on how to help...

To recap:
  With kernel 2.6.16, the suncg6 does not work with either xorg-x11 6.8.x nor 
7.0.x.
 With kernel  2.4.32-sparc, suncg6 works with both versions of xorg.

I don't know if this is an xorg or kernel issue...

I'm currently running xorg-x11 7.0.0 with kernel 2.4.32.

Sorry about the phenomenal bug spam, guys.  Adding xorg-team@ to the QA contact so bugs don't get lost in future.

If it breaks because of the kernel, then yes it is a kernel issue. Closing this as NOTOURBUG since it looks like a kernel problem.
