In /dev I have grf0 through grf3. I added grf2 and grf3 after reading
the part in the FAQ that mentions servers that try to open grf2. I still
get the error message and X dies. The color lkm that Taras put out would
not compile on my system. gcc complains that it can't find a whole slew
of includes. I couldn't find them either using find, and then I
discovered that they are included in the kernel src. The kernel source
was not included in the 1.3_alpha stuff I just installed (/sys is a link
to /usr/src/sys, and /usr/src/sys is empty). Someone here on the list
compiled a new video_lkm_combined.o using -current sources and put it at
ftp://rosadelsaron.res.cmu.edu/pub/color/. I am using that as my lkm.
Maybe something with that is broken.

Sean.
