I couldn't find any reference to setting up this device and it isn't standard as far as I can tell. Can someone point me in the right direction? If you installed kernel-1.2.codrv-fix-1.tar.Z, create new /dev entries: rm /dev/kbd /dev/vga /dev/pccons mknod /dev/kbd c 15 0 mknod /dev/vga c 15 128 Put /dev/console rather than /dev/vga in /etc/ttys. With Holger's driver xdm will work with /dev/console even when invoked from /etc/rc. Rich
