Hi Folks, I'm trying to salvage some _old_ SparcStations by getting them to run Linux. I have finally got RedHat 6.0 installed on a SparcStation 10. Most things are up, and running well. The Xserver starts up on boot, I get the regular xdm login, I can login etc. Problems arise only whenever the Xsun server crashes (it seems to do so frequently). e.g. If I kill X with Crtl+Alt+Backspc. The server refuses to restart. Xsun quits with Fatal server error: Unsupported keyboard type x where is x a random two digit number. The errors go away on reboot, start again if Xsun dies, but with a new x. Have looked in /var and /tmp for lock files but there don't seem to be any. I have a cgsix framebuffer. During installation Xconfigurator correctly detected it as a Turbo GX Plus but reported an error while testing the server. The keyboard is standard Sun. Excerpts from dmesg : Console: switching to colour frame buffer device 128x54 fb0: cgsix at e.20000000 TEC Rev 4 CPU sparc Rev b ... Sun TYPE 5 keyboard detected without keyclick Sun Mouse-Systems mouse driver version 1.00 I have upgraded all the relevant packges. X server is XFree86-Sun-3.3.3.1-52 Any ideas about what might be happening ? Harshal Pradhan IIT-Delhi
