<P><FONT SIZE=2>Awesome! I think that did it. I'm not at the office right now, so I don't want to reboot my test system, but it doesn't look like anything blew up. Thanks for the help! If everything is good, I'll clean it up and make a patch. Should be fairly minimal.<BR>

It looks /dev/mem only contains ram on solaris, not the complete address<BR>
space.<BR>
<BR>
There's a workaround, try using /dev/xsvc instead. It is part of X (or<BR>
XFree?) as it seems.<BR>
