OK, after more reading I found it. Here is what I did explicitly ( I didn't find it spelled out like this... )
1. Stopped using xdm for now. 2. made this ~/.xserverrc file: #!/usr/local/bin/bash exec /usr/openwin/bin/Xsun :0 -dev /dev/fbs/ffb0 defdepth 24 defclass TrueColor Thanks for all the Solaris posts, especially the ffbconfig stuff, I learned a bunch. ____________________Reply Separator____________________ Subject: Solaris 2.6, Ultra-1 Creator Author: JSKERIK Date: 9/21/01 1:59 PM Hey folks! Another bb newbie with solaris problems. I've not found anything like this in the mail archive. PROBLEM: I get no word characters in the titlebars or menus. Other graphics messes in nonMinimal styles. Minimal style works through a vnc server (Xvnc), but nothing is useable on the console (Xsun). ldd Xvnc and Xsun show that the libraries used are the same, but Xsun has a bunch more that Xvnc does not have. Hardware: Sun Ultra-1 Creator (200E) Software: Solaris 2.6 gcc 2.7.2 in /usr/local i know 2.7.2 is broken. read on. gcc 3.0 in /usr/local/gcc GNU tar Pre-configure steps: export PATH=/usr/local/gcc/bin:$PATH export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/gcc/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH Configure: --prefix=/usr/local --with-x-libraries=/usr/openwin/lib --with-x-includes=/usr/openwin/include tried interlace yes/no tried pseudo yes/no tried only --prefix=/usr/local etc. Edit Makefiles: src/Makefile: add -fpermissive to CXXFLAGS util/Makefile: add -fpermissive to CXXFLAGS make and make install are successful. Any thoughts? Tell me I don't have to modify all of the openwin libraries? Thanks! Joe
