Folks,
I'm slightly puzzled on what it needs to get X on sparc64.
I see that the XFree server reports that it needs
syscons, as in:
Fatal server error:
xf86OpenConsole: No console driver found
Supported drivers: syscons
Check your kernel's console driver configuration and /dev entries
In the kernel config files I see 'sc' is commented out in favor of
the openfirmware console. Trying to build a kernel with 'sc' isn't much joy
either as in:
linking kernel.debug
fb.o: In function `vid_register':
SI_SUB_CONSOLE/../../../dev/fb/fb.c:167: undefined reference to
`__start_set_videodriver_set'
SI_SUB_CONSOLE/../../../dev/fb/fb.c:167: undefined reference to
`__start_set_videodriver_set'
SI_SUB_CONSOLE/../../../dev/fb/fb.c:167: undefined reference to
`__stop_set_videodriver_set'
SI_SUB_CONSOLE/../../../dev/fb/fb.c:167: undefined reference to
`__stop_set_videodriver_set'
SI_SUB_CONSOLE/../../../dev/fb/fb.c:167: undefined reference to
`__stop_set_videodriver_set'
SI_SUB_CONSOLE/../../../dev/fb/fb.c:167: undefined reference to
`__stop_set_videodriver_set'
etc. etc.
Looks like it needs tons of stuff from the atkb* etc files. Which are
not supported on sparc64.
I'm most likely missing something glaringly obvious(?) but for now
I would like a short Idiots Guide to X on FreeBSD/sparc64..
