How to start Xsun without mouse and keyboard?

awacs5Oct 15 2010 — edited Oct 18 2010

I'm trying to run a second Xserver on a solaris 8 machine, but when I start Xsun I always get "failed to initialize core device".

I've tried plugging in a USB mouse and use kmdconfig to setup OWconfig, but this did not work. I've also tried to fool Xsun by telling it to use a serial mouse and then softlink /dev/tty03 to a console/stdout but this causes Xsun to hang after starting. I can see the second display go dark and then nothing happens. If I do a ctrl^c I will get "failed to initialize core device" printed.

Has anyone here done something similar?? Please share your stories/solutions..

Thanks
