# fbconfig -prconf
fbconfig: Not a configurable device. Use -list for valid devices.


I recall later, it is a Creator3D in this thing.

According to the document you pointed me to (Solaris Handbook for Sun
Frame Buffers)

http://dlc.sun.com/pdf/806-6054-10/806-6054-10.pdf

there should be a command

# ffbconfig

for the Creator3D, but I don't have such a command. I tried to check if
the software for the framebuffer was included, but I seem to get a
problem doing that too:

# pkginfo
system SUNW1251f Russian 1251 fonts
system SUNW1394 Sun IEEE1394 Framework
system SUNW1394h Sun IEEE1394 Framework
Header FilesALE SUNW5ttf Traditional
Chinese (BIG5) True Type Fonts Package
ALE SUNW5xmft Traditional Chinese (BIG5)
X Windows Platform minimum required Fonts Package
system SUNWGlib GLIB - Library of useful
routines for C programming
<SNIP>
pkginfo: ERROR: pkginfo file is corrupt or missing

I'm not going to lose sleep over this. I'll just reinstall Solaris.
There was nothing of value on the machine. I only set it up quickly to
test if a bit of software worked on the first release of Solaris 10.

What I think is happening is that when the machine was installed it did not
have the framebuffer support packages installed at that time.

You might want to hunt down the install media and make sure you install all
of the framebuffer support packages for your framebuffer.

It might be easier just to do a full install of Solaris. That way you
will have everything you need and everything you don't think you will need.

There are a FEW situations where you should only install the minimum
that you need. If your's is not one of them, it's far better to waste a
little disk space and install everything. Disk space is cheap. Your
time is not!
