[comp.windows.x] X11-R4 on Sun4/330-GXP.

sow@cad.luth.se (Sven-Ove Westberg) (05/07/90)

X11-R4 did not work an a Sun4/330-GXP (eg. Xsun did not support the
cgnine device). It did not help writing "xinit -- -dev /dev/cgnine0".
Did anyone have a fix to this prroblem?

X11-R4 works on my GX and CXP Suns.

I had similar problems with the SUN 4/330 - GXP with a 24bit color planes.   

I tried creating a cgtwo0 device and then start the server using

xinit -- -dev cgtwo0 without any success, as suggested in the man page for 
Xsun. 

I get a message saying...




Fatal server bug!
no screens found
XIO:  fatal IO error 32 (Broken pipe) on X server "(null)"
      after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining.
      The connection was probably broken by a server shutdown or KillClient.

Do I need to reboot my machine before I retry it. I have no trouble running
X11R4 on my sparcstation 1 (SUN 4/60 GX) with the device cgsix0.
