First there is no such thing as syscons 1.2 you mean 0.2 right ?? I'm fairly convinced that you have done something wrong somewhere in the setup. But I need more precise info on what kind of hardware you are running, and how your system is configured. >The second failure is when I start the X-server.

It isn't there, syscons has now such ioctl, nor does the supplied servers use one !.. Again what server are you running, what display card etc.... >Any suggestions? > >Al Rosenthal >air+@pitt.edu / sos Søren Schmidt -- baukno@login.dkuug.dk (preferred) -or- sos@kmd-ac.dk --
