	I've got some problem trying to make X11R4 work on a Sun 3/260.
	It didn't generate any error during compilation, I installed it
	properly and without problems, but it doesn't work...

	After starting X I get the following error:

	sunOpenFrameBuffer: inappropriate ioctl on device.

	The "inappropriate ioctl" seems to be a FBIOGTYPE called on the
	file /dev/fb by the function sunOpenFrameBuffer in
	R4/mit/server/ddx/sun/sunInit.c .
	I made also the following devices: /dev/bwtwo0 /dev/bwone0 and
	tried to make X go with them, but unsuccessfully.

	Have you any idea about what happened?

	I compiled X11R4 on a SPARCstation 2 and I hadn't any problem.

	Thanks in advance,

				Roberto Totaro
