[9:33am] sparcy:~> ls -l /usr/X11R6/bin/X
-rwsr-xr-x   1 root     root         4952 Feb 23 23:01 /usr/X11R6/bin/X

So yeah, it is... /dev/fb* came to me as root:root and 622.  
Perhaps 664 is more appropriate... I'll try it when I get
home tonight.

Heheh... yeah, I've always sort of liked booting to the console.
Also, I think the 128x54 you get on the console of an S/Linux
box is beautful... blows away an x86's normal 80x25, and I'm
not even gonna mention the nasty black on white you get in
Solaris (oops, just did). :)
