I realize that I just went through something similar (on a non-sparc |
| 27 |
system). Try something simple: Copy your xorg.conf.new to |
| 28 |
/etc/X11/xorg.conf and just try 'xinit'. If you have a sun keyboard, you |
| 29 |
might want to make sure the keyboard definition is similar to this: |
| 30 |
====================== |
| 31 |
Section "InputDevice" |
| 32 |
Identifier "Keyboard0" |
| 33 |
Driver "kbd" |
| 34 |
# Option "Protocol" "Standard" |
| 35 |
Option "XkbModel" "type5" |
| 36 |
Option "XkbRules" "xorg" |
| 37 |
Option "XkbLayout" "us" |
| 38 |
EndSection |
| 39 |
===================================== |
| 40 |
(I think X -config xorg.conf.new can only give you a black screen, because |
| 41 |
it has no applications to run. Please also check /var/log/Xorg.0.log for |
| 42 |
errors. Using xinit should give you an xterm on a black screen, assuming |
| 43 |
you have built xterm.) |
