I tryed to install the pmax-X11 stuff and had to take some hurdles.
First I was not able to create /dev/pm0 because of a typo in MAKEDEV.
I send a pr on this now. Then I tryed to `startx` with following this README,
but I got:
couldn't open pm
Fatal server error:
no screens found
So I ktraced Xmfbpmax and got:
[...]
520 Xmfbpmax CALL open(0x4c5e58,0x6,0)
520 Xmfbpmax NAMI "/dev/mouse"
520 Xmfbpmax RET open -1 errno 2 No such file or directory
520 Xmfbpmax CALL write(0x2,0x7ffff2b8,0x12)
520 Xmfbpmax GIO fd 2 wrote 18 bytes
"couldn't open pm
"
520 Xmfbpmax RET write 18/0x12
520 Xmfbpmax CALL write(0x2,0x7ffff2e0,0x15)
520 Xmfbpmax GIO fd 2 wrote 21 bytes
"
Fatal server error:
"
520 Xmfbpmax RET write 21/0x15
520 Xmfbpmax CALL write(0x2,0x7ffff2e0,0x10)
520 Xmfbpmax GIO fd 2 wrote 16 bytes
"no screens found"
520 Xmfbpmax RET write 16/0x10
520 Xmfbpmax CALL write(0x2,0x7ffff2e0,0x1)
520 Xmfbpmax GIO fd 2 wrote 1 bytes
"
"
520 Xmfbpmax RET write 1
520 Xmfbpmax CALL exit(0x1)
So how should /dev/mouse look like? I did not find it in /etc/MAKEDEV.
/dev/pm0 looks like
crw------- 1 root wheel 8, 0 Nov 12 16:41 /dev/pm0
at my DS3100.
Thanx for any help in advance!
