Running as root, Xsun24 with Creator graphics card on sparc works. Trying to run it as a normal user fails with "no screens found" Adding world write permissions by hand to /dev/fb0 fixed this problem.
sounds like a job for pam-console?
I love fixing bugs before I know about them... I added /dev/fb[0-9][0-9]* to /etc/security/console.perms yesterday, though the new pam package doesn't seem to have made it into the current 6.0 tree. When Cristian cuts pam-0.66-10, this will be fixed.
Fixed in pam-0.66-10, which is now in the tree.
