X says.. *** None of the configured devices were detected *** Fatal server error: no screens found X connection to :0.0...(snip) In the ..../i386/conf/MYKERNEL (my newly compiled kernel) I noticed the screen device is "sc0". I've looked in the /dev dir for it but I can't find it. The command "/dev/MAKEDEV sc0" says there is no such device (big suprise). How do I create it? Do I need to create it? Am I on the right track? Thanks in advance Matthew Currie.
