If any Xsun users would like to try to help tracking down this extremely
aggravating problem, please make sure you are upgraded to 3.3.6-9, and then
replace the /usr/X11R6/bin/Xsun binary on your system with the file from
the following URL:
<http://www.debian.org/~branden/Xsun>
There seems to be a problem at the Xsun/kernel-framebuffer layer. I've
added a whole bunch of debugging messages ("ErrorF"'s in X server jargon)
to a couple of functions in xc/programs/Xserver/hw/sun/sunInit.c that seem
to be at the heart of the problem.
Please email the results to the debian-x list so we do not clutter the
other lists. Be sure that the /dev/fb symlink exists before trying this
server binary.
