From: http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-sparc-9901/msg00058.html Try the following commands to create missing devices: # mknod /dev/kbd c 11 0 # mknod /dev/fb0 c 29 0 # mknod /dev/sunmouse c 10 6 This got X working for me, so I think this is all you'll need to do for that. FYI- a cgsix is an accelerated 8bit card with 1mb vram (I think :). The cgthree is unaccelerated. -- Kevin Doherty, [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Multiple exclamation marks are a sure sign of a diseased mind." -- Rincewind (from _Eric_)
