The video card is 9FX-330/1Mb Ram (RAMDEC/chip not known to me). Monitor is 14" CTX (NI-SVGA?). I am trying to install XFree86. Configure goes OK, mostly default values -- except the mouse device part. Chose /dev/tty00 startx complains about `fatal error: can't open /dev/tty00', seems ok (there is none). Chose /dev/mouse (is a link to /dev/cuaa0) startx starts and screen goes blank and machine crashes. How can I make device /dev/tty00? On a NetBSD, I did with major 8, minor 0, character special, access 666, with owner uucp, group wheel and XFree86 is working. ( crw-rw-rw- 1 uucp wheel 8, 0 Mar 12 09:57 /dev/tty00 ) In FreeBSD, I can't find an entry in list of /dev/MAKDEV, the only entries are for ttyd0 etc. How to make /dev/tty00? If some body out there is running X-windows (most of you are!), please provide some insight.. Thanks, Ishwar Rattan
