In the process of installing x11r4 on a cluster of Sun 3 workstations, runing SunOS3.5, I ran into problems where after starting up the x server, it dies after approximately 15 seconds, with an error saying that it can't open the frame buffer. The error messages are: Getting interface configuration: Operation not supported on socket sunOpenFrameBuffer: Inappropriate ioctl for device sunOpenFrameBuffer: Inappropriate ioctl for device sunOpenFrameBuffer: Inappropriate ioctl for device sunOpenFrameBuffer: Inappropriate ioctl for device Fatal server bug! no screens found IOT trap Does anyone know what is wrong? Thanks in advance! Seow-Hiong Goh System Manager shgoh@marvax.Berkeley.EDU

I had the same problem on a Sparcstation 1 running SunOS 4.0.3 until I installed fix-1 and fix-2, which you should be able to get wherever you got your X11R4. Joe Konczal
