update: E250 graphics card problem

2007-12-25 2:26:00

Poblem: No GUI/CDE on SUN E250 server

Graphics card is PGX64 supplied by sun.
While installing the packages from the driver CD(pgx)
containing 5 packages for solaris 7
SUNWm64
SUNW64cf
SUNWm64w
SUNWm64x
SUNWm64xr
Except SUNWm64 all the packages are successfully
installing without errors. Following is the error for
SUNWm64 installation:

Executing Post installation script
(m64) already in use as a driver or alias
Failed add_drv
pkgadd: ERROR:post install script did not complete
succesfully
Installation failed.

While installing SUNWm64xr a warning message will be
displayed as <SUNWm64> is not installed properly.

But pkginfo |grep m64 shows all the above packages.

Executing X or Xsun from the Xservers file gives me
the following error:
/dev/fb: no such file or directory
Graphics adapter device /dev/fb is of unknown type
Ftal server error
initOutput: error loading module for /dev/fb
/usr/openwin/bin/xinit server error

Also
#ls -l /dev/fb
l------- root root /dev/fb
-> /devices/pci at 1f,2000/SUNW,m64B at 1:m640
ok> show-devs
also shows same for the m64 pci card.

Also
/dev/m640 is having a link to /dev/fbs/m640.
But under /dev/fbs no files/directories.
Can anyone help me in this regard.
