    I have a 280R with solaris 9 and an PGX 64 graphics card installed.
    On boot up I get this error

    consconfig: [ID 367632 kern.notice] Can't find driver for console framebuffer

    and it says

    Can't start X session.

    Consequently, I can't start an X session, CDE etc.

    I have these packages installed

    pkginfo |grep SUNWm64
    system SUNWm64 M64 Graphics System Software/Device Driver
    application SUNWm64cf M64 Graphics Configuration Software
    application SUNWm64w M64 Graphics Window System Support
    system SUNWm64x M64 Graphics System Software/Device Driver (64-bit)
    system SUNWm64xr M64XR System Software (Device Driver Config.)

    I've done boot -r but
    still get the errors.

    Here's some info
    # eeprom output-device
    output-device=screen
    # prtconf -F
    Console output device is not a frame buffer
    # ls -lL /dev/fb*
    crw------- 1 root other 28, 0 Sep 22 2003 /dev/fb
    crw------- 1 root other 28, 0 Sep 22 2003 /dev/fb0

    Thanks,
