Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] I managed to find afb.ucode on the Sunsolve website (in the 106144-28.zip patch file, dated 21Feb2003), and I placed it in /usr/ lib. Now, when the afbinit command runs I get the following error message: mmap user regs: Invalid argument The X server still fails to start. Also, in my /var/log/Xorg.0.log I have the following: (II) /dev/fb0: AFB: Detected Elite3D/M6. (II) /dev/fb0: BT498 (PAC2) ramdac detected (II) /dev/fb0: Detected Elite3D M3/M6, checking firmware... (II) /dev/fb0: ... AFB firmware not loaded (WW) /dev/fb0: Forcing no acceleration on Elite3D M3/M6 (==) SUNFFB(0): Backing store disabled (==) SUNFFB(0): Silken mouse enabled (**) Option "dpms" (**) SUNFFB(0): DPMS enabled (**) SUNFFB(0): DPMS enabled (WW) SUNFFB(0): Option "UseFBDev" is not used What concerns me most from the above is the "AFB firmware not loaded" message, although I don't know what to do about it. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

You have to install the package afbinit and you need the firmware for the Elite3D. This file is called "afb.ucode". You find it on the Solaris DVD or maybe on the net. The startscript supplied with afbinit may work or not. In my case I had to add the following line to /etc/rc.local to get the card working. /usr/sbin/afbinit /dev/fb0 /usr/lib/afb.ucode -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I don't use an Elite card but have been looking for one. I think an extra driver besides the sunffb is needed. Did you add that?
