I've attached two further followups from Mr. Stigge. Is there a way for the sunffb driver to tell the firmware hasn't been initialized? If so, maybe some xf86DrvMsg() screech code can be written into it? David S. Miller, I beseech you for some oracular wisdom. :) -- G.

--- Begin Message ---Hi, I've found the Elite3D firmware from Solaris in the net: /usr/lib/afb.ucode. Loading this (with afbinit), it works. Seems that the issue of #245246 isn't solved completely. Otherwise, I wouldn't have encountered this problem. (Or did I miss some warning during the installation process?) bye, Roland -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
