Hi,

I'm still having problems with getting Xwindows to work.

I'm using 6.0-Current. The machine is a U10 with Creator Graphics and a
(uk) Type 6 KeyBoard + 3 Button Mouse - at least that is what it says on
it.

The error(s) I'm now getting is:  

(==) Log file: "/var/log/Xorg.0.log", Time: Wed Jul  6 14:21:30 2005
(==) Using config file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf"
Detected FFB2+/vertical, Single-buffered.
[drm] failed to load kernel module "ffb"
(EE) SUNFFB(0): [dri] DRIScreenInit failed.  Disabling DRI.

The Xorg.0.log repeats the part about drm and dri but does not indicate
anything re the input method.

The relavant parts of Xorg.conf are:


Section "Screen"
    Identifier  "Screen 0"
    Device      "My Video Card"
    Monitor     "My Monitor"
    DefaultDepth 24
    Subsection "Display"
        Depth      24
        Modes       "1280x1024" "1024x768" "640x480"
       ViewPort    0 0
    EndSubsection
End Section

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier  "Keyboard1"
    Driver      "kbd"
    Option     "Protocol"      "standard"
    Option "AutoRepeat" "500 30"
    Option "XkbRules"    "sun"
    Option "XkbModel"    "type6"
End Section

Section "InputDevice"

# Identifier and driver
    Identifier  "Mouse1"
    Driver      "mouse"
    Option "Protocol"    "MouseSystems"
    Option "Device"      "/dev/sysmouse"
EndSection

I have been trying various things but not got anywhere (probably as I
don't know what I doing) any thoughts help would be gratefully received.

Rob
