For X rebuild kernel with following options: device sc device creator # Creator, Creator3D and Elite3D graphics cards device splash # Splash screen and screen saver support options KBD_INSTALL_CDEV # install a CDEV entry in /dev device uart # Multi-uart driver device puc # Multi-channel uarts For mouse daemon try this options: "-p /dev/uart1 -t mousesystems". Useful information about OpenBoot commands: <http://sunsolve.sun.com/handbook_pub/General/OBP.html>; See two NVRAM parameters: output-device and input-device. -- With best regards, Andrew Belashov.
