Been there, done that. On another older PC, with a perfectly supported old
CirrusLogic video board. And a -current kernel/userland, as of last
night.

I have the same "can't mmap /dev/vga" problem

[root@arnor root]# ll /dev/vga
ls: /dev/vga: No such file or directory
Mmmh do I have to mknod this device ? isn't it in MAKEDEV ?
Is there a magic to create it ?

Thanks !


For info, startx output :
[root@arnor root]# cat startx.log
