|Forgive a neophite question: I have recently put together a SPARCstation
|370 running OS 4.0.3.  Whenever I try to run one of the graphics demo
|programs (i.e. stringart) I get the following error message:
|
|get_view_surface: /dev/fb is unknown fb type.
|initialize_view_surface:
|Invalid view surface name.
|
|The only difference between this machine and the other Suns we have
|(4/260's) is that the 370 has a CG-6 where I believe the others are
|CG-2's.

The version of SunCore in 4.0.3 doesn't support the cg6 frame buffer.
Copy the SunCore library from an SS-1 running 4.0.3c and relink.  4.0.3c
also includes a shared SunCore library which you may find useful.
