    So, I upgraded everything today
    and I no longer have X because it requires /dev/vga
    which has dissappeared out of /dev

    As I have no X I have no browser (comments about lynx will
    be ignored ;-)
    so I'm having trouble looking up resources to see what may have happenned.

    The vga driver reports as having found a device in dmesg
    but there is no such device in /dev.

    I recall a couple of emails on the topic a while ago but I can't
    look them up now...
    can someone let me know what the resolution was?
    should I be adding a symlink to something somewhere?

    is this a known problem?

    Julian
