Re: X in lenny: 'cannot run in ramebuffer mode'



This looks like the same error I was getting on my Ultra 10 w/ Creator 3D card under a fresh Lenny/5.0.1 install.  Under 5.0.0 it get an error of not having the sunffb module available.  I have a thread going on the list about it as well.

Hi all,
recently I made a fresh install of lenny on my SPARC. I didn't keep my old xorg.conf.
Since then, when trying tostart X, I get the error message:
"Fatal server error:
cannot run in framebuffer mode. Please specifyb busIDs for all framebuffer devices"

lspci doesn't list anything that sounds like a grafics card.
The (to my knowledge) relevant part of xorg.conf reads:
"Section "Device":
Identifier: "Configured Video device"
Driver: "sunffb"
Option "Useffbdev" "true"

I guess I need to build the specific driver for my card (some sun grafics card) into the kernel, but I don't knoew where to find it. Any pointers?

Best regards, Martin.
