Re: How to enable X11?

Thanks for your help!

Please excuse following newbie question, cause Debian is a litte different
than SuSE or RedHat in this case:

How can I restart (what's the binary called) the X setup without the need to
go thru the complete `base-config' procedure...?

I think what u are looking for is
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86

(II) SUNFFB: driver for Creator, Creator 3D and Elite 3D
(EE) No devices detected.
Your are using the wrong driver. The driver that is loaded when X starts corresponds to Creator which most probably is not your case. I am not experienced with ultra5 machines so i am not sure which is the right one for your, but i am sure that someone else on the list can help more. :-)

Hi all
I am a Debian newbie, but it's a realy interessting Linux 
distribution to

me, because it's running also on SPARC.
The installation in general was without any problems, I also 
added X and the

GUIs but now I have a real problem to start the X server (startx).
My hardware is an Ultra 5, with the motherboard's default 
framebuffer (no

Raptor card built in, so no idea what this for a product is).
I tried everything what's for a Debian on SPARC newbie 
possible, but now I

have no idea left, how I can enable X.

Please find enclosed log and config file.

I really would appreciate any help!

Cheers,
Roland
