SunFire V890 not firing up graphics
Hi everyone,

I have a SunFire V890 (called "Susi") with 8x UltraSparc IV+ 2,1 GHz and 32 GB of RAM.
I can start her up and with my serial console I can see the post is going good. But she gives a nondescript error, when she tries to switch to graphics.
She has a FireGL card installed since I bought her. The card is ok, because I tested it in my V490 and there I get a picture. 
I tried multiple PCI slots.
The card should be compatible?
I just get an error like "the graphics could not be initialized" and immediately after the screen blanks. So I have no screenshots.
Are there any logs saved somewhere?
Via serial console I can even install Solaris 10 on the hard drives. But no graphics there either. The install tries to switch to graphics mode, but then continues in text mode.

I mean, she is a very efficient space heater and I do not have a good use case for her, but it irks me, that there is something not right with her.

Does anybody have an idea?

Carsten
