I think so. :-) Maybe to launch X Window on sparc that needs not only /dev/fb?, but also /dev/fb[01]autodetect and /dev/fd[01]user[0-7], don't you? my devices are...: $ ls -l /dev/f* crw-rw-rw- 1 root tty 29, 0 Feb 21 08:36 /dev/fb0 crw-rw-rw- 1 root tty 29, 32 Feb 21 08:36 /dev/fb1 crw-rw-rw- 1 root tty 29, 64 Feb 21 08:36 /dev/fb2 crw-rw-rw- 1 root tty 29, 96 Feb 21 08:36 /dev/fb3 crw-rw-rw- 1 root tty 29, 128 Feb 21 08:36 /dev/fb4 crw-rw-rw- 1 root tty 29, 160 Feb 21 08:36 /dev/fb5 crw-rw-rw- 1 root tty 29, 192 Feb 21 08:36 /dev/fb6 crw-rw-rw- 1 root tty 29, 224 Feb 21 08:36 /dev/fb7 crw-rw-rw- 1 root tty 29, 1 Mar 29 21:34 /dev/fbautodetect crw-rw-rw- 1 root tty 29, 24 Mar 29 21:34 /dev/fbuser0 crw-rw-rw- 1 root tty 29, 25 Mar 29 21:34 /dev/fbuser1 crw-rw-rw- 1 root tty 29, 26 Mar 29 21:34 /dev/fbuser2 crw-rw-rw- 1 root tty 29, 27 Mar 29 21:34 /dev/fbuser3 crw-rw-rw- 1 root tty 29, 28 Mar 29 21:34 /dev/fbuser4 crw-rw-rw- 1 root tty 29, 29 Mar 29 21:34 /dev/fbuser5 crw-rw-rw- 1 root tty 29, 30 Mar 29 21:34 /dev/fbuser6 crw-rw-rw- 1 root tty 29, 31 Mar 29 21:34 /dev/fbuser7 brw-rw---- 1 root floppy 2, 0 Feb 21 08:21 /dev/fd0 brw-rw---- 1 root floppy 2, 1 Feb 21 08:21 /dev/fd1 crw--w--w- 1 root root 1, 7 Feb 21 08:21 /dev/full -- Hiroshi Naraki <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
