Well, years of sneering at people who don't RTFM have caught up with me. In the sun server README, it clearly states that to use color on a 3/60, you have to specify /dev/cgfour0. Mea culpa. The thing that confused me is that our 3/110C has /dev/cgfour0, but not /dev/bwtwo0, so I guess the server just started up on cgfour0. However, the 3/60 I tried had bwtwo0 and not cgfour0, and the server doesn't seem to work on bwtwo0, even with -dev /dev/bwtwo0. So that leaves me with two questions: has anyone gotten X11 to work with bwtwo0 on a 3/60C, and is there any way to get the server to use cgfour0 by default?

On 3/60C, the BW plane is addressed by /dev/bwtwo1, not /dev/bwtwo0. I'm reporting this from memory - I don't have a color 3/60C to check it on. David.

You should be able to get the server to find the mono
plane on a 3/60C by adding a line:
sunBW2Probe, "/dev/bwtwo1", neverProbed,
after the line:
sunBW2Probe, "/dev/bwtwo0", neverProbed,
in server/ddx/sunInit.c. Once again, this is untested
because I don't have a 3/60C available to test it on.
You will have to remove the file /dev/bwtwo0 and make
a device /dev/bwtwo1.
David.
