I'm not 100% sure. Architecturally, they are errors on SPARC. Userspace applications that do unaligned accesses are sent SIGBUS and usually killed. For a driver, I would imagine that the kernel would catch this trap and emulate or ignore it rather than go down in a blaze of glory. It should generally be treated as an error, and every time I've seen the C code that does it, it is usually straight forward to fix it. > If you can start X, does that mean fbcon > works? > I don't really know a whole lot about fbcon in general. I know that I definitely get fbcon on the ATI chip (fb0), but I haven't really researched how to get a console going on the NVidia one. I'd be happy to try it and report results if you give me a bit of direction. Patrick
