Hi, I can't start X. I am a newbie to debian and sparcs, although I have some experience with Read Hat in a pc. CD's purchased from Linuxmall were used to install in a Sparc 5 with a Z24 frame buffer: Debian 2.1; Linux verion 2.035 #1 Wed Feb 17, 1999; kernel-image-2.0.35_2.0.35-4. After entering "startx" these are the error messages: "_X11transsocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect errno = 61 giving up xinit: connection refused (errno 61) : unable to connect to Xserver xinit: No such process (errno 3) :server error"
What is missing? (Using information from debian-sparc archives of Feburuary-June 1999, I make changes as follows: mknod /dev/sunmouse c 10 6 (not 11, 6) with root owner & tty group ln -s /dev/sunmouse /dev/mouse) " " chmod 666 /dev/fb? " " mkmod /dev/fbuser? " " mkmod /dev/fbautodetect) " " chmod 666 /dev/kbd " " Jim Sperbeck
