Hrm indeed.  i cut-n-pasted that from my desktop machine.  works fine for me. :)

let's start at the beginning.  from the Options (is that the name?) dropdown
on the dtlogin screen, choose commandline login.

login.

run: Xsun -dev /dev/fb0 -dev /dev/fb1

report what happens.  also:

wonko at wintermute$ cd /dev
wonko at wintermute$ ls -l fb*
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root          40 Jul  1 17:22 fb -> /devices/obio/cgfourteen at 2,0:cgfourteen0

do you have the correct entries?  i would guess that you should have

cgfourteen0 -> ../../devices/obio/cgfourteen at 2,0:cgfourteen0
cgfourteen1 -> ../../devices/obio/cgfourteen at 2,0:cgfourteen1

and:

fb0 -> fbs/cgfourteen0
fb1 -> fbs/cgfourteen1

or something like that??
