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.

Regards,

Sean.
