I know this has been covered before, so you will excuse me for boring you with this one more time. Our department has just got itself a new Sun 3/60 with a colour cgfour display. (I know its a cg4, because that's what constype says.) The question is obvious, how do I tell Xsun how to work on it? I think I should be pointing it towards /dev/cgfour , but there is no /dev/cgfour, only /dev/fb. When I start-up X it works, but does not appear on the screen in front of me. (Awm beeps etc, and I managed to make a menu selection without seeing it, so it works.) Help? Thanks tons.

Become superuser, cd /dev and type: ./MAKEDEV cgfour the run X, you should be able to slide onto the colour screen by moving the pointer off the left or right side of the screen (assuming you're not running on top of Sunview). - Paul.
