Hello, could anyone help me ?
I installed V11R4 on our Sun 3/260 including fixes 1 and 2 for the core.
When I want to run xinit I always get Error messages like this:


Getting interface configuration: Operation not supported on socket
sunOpenFrameBuffer: Inappropriate ioctl for device
sunOpenFrameBuffer: Inappropriate ioctl for device
sunOpenFrameBuffer: Inappropriate ioctl for device
sunOpenFrameBuffer: Inappropriate ioctl for device
sunOpenFrameBuffer: Inappropriate ioctl for device

Fatal server bug!
no screens found
XIO:  fatal IO error 32 (Broken pipe) on X server "(null)"
      after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining.
      The connection was probably broken by a server shutdown or KillClient.

and contype always only reports tty.
The /dev/bwtwo0 and /dev/fb are installed and we run a 1600*1280 mono screen.

Whats wrong ?

Greetings, Fritz
