This is a repost since my first attempt got mangled.

I have a Sparc 1 with mono frame buffer running MIT X11R5. I want to
install a TGX graphics adapter into the Sparc 1. My first attempt
resulted in the system simply refusing to boot. I suspect - maybe -
that I need a newer PROM revision (currently 1.1) on the Sparc 1 to
get the TGX graphics adpater to work.

Before I purchase new PROM, does anyone know for sure if the Sparc 1
running MIT X11R5 can be made to coexist with a TGX graphics card?
What PROM revision are you using?

Thanks,
    - Henrik
