Hi,

I know that this topic has been covered many times in various NGs, however I
can't seem
to find any answer. I have a Sun Blade 1000 with dual UPA based Elite 3Dm6
framebuffers.
The devices are being recognised fine by the OS ( Solaris 9 08/03 with patch
cluster downloaded
and installed yesterday kernel patch level117171-07). Here is an extract
from /etc/path_to_inst;

bash-2.05$ grep afb /etc/path_to_inst
"/upa@8,480000/SUNW,afb@0,0" 0 "afb"
"/upa@8,480000/SUNW,afb@1,0" 1 "afb"

Here is my /etc/dt/config/Xservers;

# tail -1 /etc/dt/config/Xservers
:0 Local local_uid@console root /usr/openwin/bin/Xsun :0 -nobanner -dev
/dev/fbs/afb0 defdepth 24 -dev /dev/fbs/afb1 defdepth 24 +xinerama -nobanner

When the machine boots up I get a console on the primary (afb0) framebuffer,
however the console
login prompt does not come up, nor does dtlogin start successfully. There is
nothing in /var/dt/Xerrors
to indicate what went wrong. If I manually execute, I get the following
errors;

# /etc/rc2.d/S99dtlogin start
# tail -f /var/dt/Xerrors

Sat Aug 7 11:31:16 2004
error (pid 287): Hung in XOpenDisplay(:0) attempt #1, aborting.

Sat Aug 7 11:31:16 2004
error (pid 287): Server open attempt #1 failed for :0, giving up
^C

I have tried just about every permutation in this file including having only
a
single head - without any success.

I have not tried removing the second Elite3Dm6 yet, because I
want to get the dual display up and running. I would appreciate
any tips.

Thanks and regards,
Andrew

Thanks and regards,
