Xorg startup with serial console
Hi,
i want to start an xserver on a sun workstation that boots using a
serial console. The plan is to attach a monitor to an otherwise
headless machine and provide mouse and keyboard via synergy.
On a standard boot with an attached keyboard, i can start the Xserver
and it says it uses a console like this:
[ 550.602] (--) Using wscons driver on /dev/ttyE1 in pcvt
compatibility mode (version 3.32)
[ 550.602] (--) using VT number 2
But when i do the boot via a serial connection without an attached
keyboard, i can not start the Xserver.
The error is that it would be missing a console driver:
[ 1043.586] (EE) xf86OpenConsole: No console driver found
Supported drivers: pccons (with X support), pcvt, wscons
Check your kernel's console driver configuration and /dev entries(EE)
I am currently not using an xorg.conf on this machine, which is why i
wonder that the autoconfiguration drops this error.
Am i missing a driver or do i need to provide specific xorg.conf settings?
Regards,
Connor
