Q: problems with missing /dev/tty0 on X startup in MIPS system

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

I'm trying to get VGA output on a MIPSel system (MeshCube 
http://www.meshcube.org) to work. 
The system uses a miniPCI ATI Rage VGA card (=> problem does not get 
initialized due to lack of system BIOS => hopefully initialized by int10 
XFree86 x86 emulator code).

I've attached an USB mouse and keyboard but fail to start X due to

Fatal server error:
xf86OpenConsole: Cannot open /dev/tty0 (No such file or directory)

My questions to those working with MIPS boards / on the Ruby/Linux console 
project are:
 - 1. How to test the USB input functionality?
	(I could test the mouse by doing: cat < /dev/input/mice
	=> any hints on doing something similar for the keyboard?)
 - 2. Any hints on the missing /dev/tty0 stuff? (this is maybe
	related to the console / keyboard stuff?)

Any hints are welcome, best regards
 Ralf
