(Linux uses fbdev instead.) Your question should be why your actual graphics driver didn't load so it fell back to wsfb as a last resort before giving up. Unfortunately I can't explain that, as it just says in your log that it loaded the sunffb module but found no devices it could attach to: (II) SUNFFB: driver for Creator, Creator 3D and Elite 3D (WW) Falling back to old probe method for sunffb (EE) No devices detected. On the other hand, it looks like earlier in your log file it detected an ATI Rage device (a Sun PGX series fb maybe?), which I'd expect to be the mach64 driver, not sunffb: (--) PCI: (0:0:1:0) 1002:4752:0000:0000 ATI Technologies Inc Rage XL rev 39, Mem @ 0x02000000/16777216, 0x0012c000/4096, I/O @ 0x00000500/256, BIOS @ 0x????????/65536 -- -Alan Coopersmith- alan.coopersmith@oracle.com Oracle Solaris Platform Engineering: X Window System
