I'm installing X11R3+fix1 on sun3's and sun2's under SunOS 4.0. On our new Sun3/60C, /dev/fb is all we have for screen devices. X comes up in monochrome mode using /dev/fb. If I move /dev/fb to /dev/cgfour0 and start xinit -- -dev /dev/cgfour0 I get color. However if I link cgfour0 and fb it dies. What devices should I have and how do I make them? -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Steve Chappelow chappelo@kira.uvm.edu

/dev/fb and /dev/cgfour0 are different devices as far as the kernel is concerned, don't move one to the other or link them together. To get cgfour0 created, do cd /dev ./MAKEDEV cgfour0 Your X11 server should work fine with /dev/fb and /dev/cgfour0 existing (but no /dev/bwtwo*'s), you shouldn't even need to give a -dev option to xinit.
