Graphics Demos

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.  I am still running with a GENERIC kernal, so I haven't taken
anything out that I shouldn't have.  Could anyone popint me in the right
direction?  (RTFM's welcome)

							-Thanks
