For the logeintries of my last mail - none really as I used
`kernel-image-2.2.13' straight out of the box. By now I have rolled
my own kernel with the following options:
[*] PROM console
[*] Support Frame buffer devices
[*] SBUS and UPA framebuffers
[ ] CGsix (GX,TurboGX) support
[*] BWtwo support
[ ] CGthree support
[ ] TCX (SS4/SS5 only support)
[ ] CGfourteen (SX) support
[ ] Leo (ZX) support
< > Virtual Frame Buffer support (ONLY FOR TESTING!)
[ ] Advanced low level driver options
[*] Support only 8 pixels wide fonts
[*] Sparc console 8x16 font
[ ] Select other fonts
But this changed none of the symptoms - the logentry is still the
same. (There's not much help for most options by the way)

I am now running potato. /etc/X11/Xserver:
-----
/usr/bin/X11/Xsun
Console
The first line in this file is the full pathname of the default X
server.
The second line shows who is allowed to run the X server:
RootOnly
Console (anyone whose controlling tty is on the console)
Anybody

The strace was run as root. If I simply strace without the -e option
it gives /lots/ of output and concludes with
read(7, "", 8192) = 0
read(7, "", 8192) = 0
read(7, "", 8192) = 0
close(7) = 0
rt_sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, [IO], NULL, 8) = 0
rt_sigprocmask(SIG_UNBLOCK, [IO], NULL, 8) = 0
--- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) ---
+++ killed by SIGSEGV +++
(fd 7 is "/etc/X11/banner/Xbanner1.ras") So I guess it is not really
connected with the font-file.
Thanks for the help

If you know why this number is perfect - you're probably a mathematician...
