In article <4742@brazos.Rice.edu> you write: |X-Sun-Spots-Digest: Volume 9, Issue 28, message 4 of 11 | |Forgive a neophite question: I have recently put together a SPARCstation |370 running OS 4.0.3. Whenever I try to run one of the graphics demo |programs (i.e. stringart) I get the following error message: | |get_view_surface: /dev/fb is unknown fb type. |initialize_view_surface: |Invalid view surface name. | |The only difference between this machine and the other Suns we have |(4/260's) is that the 370 has a CG-6 where I believe the others are |CG-2's. The version of SunCore in 4.0.3 doesn't support the cg6 frame buffer. Copy the SunCore library from an SS-1 running 4.0.3c and relink. 4.0.3c also includes a shared SunCore library which you may find useful. David DiGiacomo, Sun Microsystems, Mt.
