XServer no-go on Sun 3/60 running 4.1.1, frame buffer /dev/bwtwo1?!

Hi there all... I've asked this question once before, but I didn't get much 
in the way of any answers, but then, I was only posting to comp.sys.sun.admin,
hopefully I'll get more response this time.

I recently bought a Sun 3/60, used. It's framebuffer seems to be configured
(When it boots, it SAYS it...) to be bwtwo1. MOST Sun 3/60s that I know of
are configured to be bwtwo0... but, I've installed straight from tape, so
my guess is that the sun media knows best.

Here's the problem: Whenever I try to run Xsun, I get the following error:

Fatal server error:
no screens found

Argh! SunView runs just fine. I've JUST compiled this thing from X11R5p25
source last night (took in the area of 14 hours)! I don't know what's 
causing the problem.

After the last diskwipe/install, I'd been running SunView for a WHILE before 
I realized that there IS NO /dev/bwtwo1 device even created! (When I got
the machine, it did have one, so now I am getting really confused.)

/dev/fb and /dev/bwtwo0 exist, but Xsun gives the same messages when told
to use those. I fooled around with mknod'ing my own bwtwo1, but with little
success.
