We recently got a Sun3/60 and X11R1 doesn't seem to "just work".  The
odd thing is (this may approach a Sun info group question) that the
frame buffer (/dev/fb or /dev/bwtwo0) claim to be 1280x1600 when I
query it with an FBIOGTYPE (/dev/bwtwo1 claims to be 900x1152 or
whatever the "normal" screen is.) What do I own? I thought I bought a
vanilla 3/60? Was the wrong thing shipped? I don't care, but I'd like
to get it to work. It's definitely monochrome (and that's all I know
for sure at the moment) and plugged into the MONO plug.

If I try 'xinit -- -dev /dev/bwtwo0' (or just xinit for that matter) I
get a smeared image, like it doesn't understand the wider screen.  If
I try 'xinit -- -dev /dev/bwtwo1' it just gives an error and exits
("No displays found" or something like that, not that strange,
perusing sunInit.c I see that bwtwo1 is not in the Fb table, that's
ok, but what *should* work?)

If I try to start up suntools on bwtwo0, same smear. If I try to start
up suntools on bwtwo1 the system panics with a bus error. Maybe I
should speak to Sun, obviously I'm confused, I just include the latter
suntools facts to perhaps give some hints. The Xsun server claims to
be willing to run on a 1280x1600 screen, maybe I built it wrong? (what
is _MAP_NEW?  seems to be ifdef'd around the if(hires) code.) I'd be
pleased to get it working in lo-res, hi-res, whatever (the first would
be compatible with everything else here, the latter would be
interesting.)

help?
