I have several questions/problems about running X11 on our SPARCstation 4/60 which has a cgthree0 frame buffer and SPARCstation 4/330 which has a cgsix0 frame buffer. 1. When I try to start up X11 on the 4/60 by using "xinit -- Xsun -dev /dev/cgthree0" I get the following error: Fatal server bug! Can't find any displays giving up. /usr/local/bin/X11/xinit: Connection refused (errno 61): unable to connect to X server But when I use "xinit -- Xsun" without specifying which frame buffer to use, X11 comes up fine - why is this ? I'm assuming that it uses cgthree0 because that is the only cg* frame buffer in /dev - is this correct ? 2. Should cgthree0 and cgsix0 support the two "virtual" X screens ? 3. The following was posted to the net: Article 10769 of comp.windows.x: ... I have posted a hacked version of the sun cg4 server to support the cg6 as a dumb frame buffer. I have only used it on a 330. It is available in contrib/cg6.tar of expo.lcs.mit.edu. The regular Xsun server which we compiled for our Sun-4s works fine with our 4/60. Do you have to use a special server with the 4/330 ? (I haven't been able to test the regular Xsun server on the 4/330 yet because it has memory problems.) 4. After exiting X, the screen is left with a light green foreground and a white background on our SPARCstations and some of our other Suns. On all of them except the SPARC 4/60, issuing the command "clear_colormap" will restore the screen to the "normal" black on white. What causes this problem and is there any way to correct the problem on the 4/60 without rebooting the machine ? --Katie Mohrfeld------------------------------ --Department of Computer Science-------------- --University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill-- --NET-ADDRESS: mohrfeld@cs.unc.edu------------
