I had a look into the Sun System Handbook and it at least confirms that the card is supported by the V890. Under "Notes" it also tells that:

"The DVI-A port does not support 1920 × 1200 × 60Hz."

...but the Sun XVR-100 Graphics Accelerator Installation Guide under "[...] Default Console Display" also tells:

"Only the Sun XVR-100 graphics accelerator HD15 video output connector can provide console output. You cannot set the DVI video connector as the console."

...so using its DVI port as console might not work at all.

This chapter also tells, how to configure the HD15 output as console output. Do these steps at least work for you?



BTW, the System Handbook also labels these cards as "ATI Radeon 7000 MAC Edition" cards. Could that mean, that all PCI graphics cards for Power Macs could be used as glass console for Sun machines, too? Not that I find this important, I'm much more happy that I can control my Suns via serial console, but still interesting.



Thank you for your effort. I have an old 15" 1280x1024 VGA TFT Monitor connected. Not on DVI.

BUT I got it now.

It was the oldest thing in the book and I dislike Sun A LOT for this!
When you use putty for remote RSC connection, CONNECT A KEYBOARD TO YOUR SUN! Otherwise, there will be no picture on the monitor.
So the problem was between chair and monitor.
Thank you all for your help. And when I get the XVR-600, I will try and post some benchmarks.
