No, I have no afbinit installed. I also think this is a Creator 3D and
not an Elite 3D (it's prom name "SUNW,ffb", it's model name "SUNW,501-3129"
and the board_type 001b).
And as the download step in /usr/share/doc/afbinit/README.Debian does
not work I also cannot test it with afbinit.
What is "work properly" supposed to mean? The server starts, it shows
an rxvt I'm opening and the text I enter (well there is a keyboard
problem, but that should be unrelated and I will report separately)
and thus works without afbinit, except segfaulting when all client
disconnect:
This I must add, which I overlooked first: It does not segfault when
the first client disconnects, but when the last connected clients
disconnects (which also means if the first client disconnects before
an second client connected).
Hochachtungsvoll,
