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.. tia W/ -- | / o / /_ _ wilko@FreeBSD.org |/|/ / / /( (_) Bulte
