>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 Easy: You have a motherboard that was sold from the factory as a color (cg4) system. Such boards save a couple of bucks by omitting the on-board bwtwo1. Someone later must have switched the cg4 with a P4-bus bwtwo1. Orrrrrrrrrr, you *do* have an on-board bwtwo0, but also have a cgfour that you're not telling us about. >Here's the problem: Whenever I try to run Xsun, I get the following error: >Fatal server error: >no screens found >/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. Try removing /dev/bwtwo0 and any other /dev entries for fb's that you don't have. -- ======================================================================8--<
