xdm /dev/fb fatal error
I am starting xdm on a SOL9 system. IN the xdm-errors I see
# cat xdm-errors
xdm error (pid 435): error 125 binding socket address 177
/dev/fb: No such file or directory
/dev/fb: No such file or directory
Graphics Adapter device /dev/fb is of unknown type
Fatal server error:
InitOutput: Error loading module for /dev/fb
xdm error (pid 435): Server for display :0 terminated unexpectedly: 1
/dev/fb: No such file or directory
/dev/fb: No such file or directory
Graphics Adapter device /dev/fb is of unknown type
Fatal server error:
InitOutput: Error loading module for /dev/fb
I issue
# prtconf -F
Console output device is not a frame buffer
#
I searched the experts DB and found no hits. I have not changed anything as far as the config of xdm. looked through amd taken the defaults. Any ideas?

You can close thsi
So your problem is that you don't have graphic card, do you?
Please close by your own.

Is there any way to test for a graphics card?
Check Sun Hardware Compatibilty List
http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/hcl/data/sol/
for your graphic card first.
Make sure your graphic card is supported by Solaris 9.
Second, plug it into another Sun Solaris 9 box if it is in HCL.

WEll now I am totally miffed see my earlier Question titled SOL9 z11vnc (tightvnc). I need users to connect to this server with VNC. THat's it.

Okay all I need to know is HOW to I set up the DISPLAY (as in LINUX) top accept multiple rmote access from a headless server via VNC.
Do you have video card in that system?
Please post the output of
/usr/platform/`uname -i`/sbin/prtdiag -v
If no graphic card, then you need to install one.
