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. -- ______________________From the console of:______________________ Marco E.
