Hi,

I have an ultra 10 Creator 3D. Sun monitor, sun type 5 keyboard. I'm using the 2.6.20 kernel.

I'm not able to start xorg-x11. The Xorg.0.log shows this error message:
Code:

(II) /dev/fb0: Detected Elite3d M3/M6, checking firmware...
(II) /dev/fb0: ...AFB Firmware not loaded
(WW) /dev/fb0: Forcing no acceleration on Elite3d M3/M6


I have followed the guide at fmccor and I do have the 108604 patch unzipped, I have put afb.ucode into /usr/lib, I have started afbinit. I have also tried the initscript without afb.ucode and that did not work either.

My xorg.conf file looks almost exactly like the one at the fmccor site, the only main difference being that my file does not try to load the dri or glx. Since the machine doesn't have x-windows working, I don't know of a way to copy and paste that xorg.conf file here.

I want startx to work.
