Hello,

I am new to FreeBSD and could use some help.
I installed 7.0 on a Sun Netra T1 AC200 headless server.  Installed through
serial terminal and got networking up.  Installed X.org distribution and
realvnc package.  When I run vncserver I get some errors in the vnc log file
and see nothing but a black screen when I connect to the session on the
sparc.

[end file]

I have deinstalled the xorg-server package and reinstalled, but same
result.  I had to configure the xorg.conf file using "xorgconfig" because
the other method did not work since it is a headless unit - no display found
- could not use the console driver.

I have searched X.org and mailing list archives for "invalid setup" message,
but cannot find anything.

Thanks for any help - Paul.
