Xorg on fbdev, howto?

[Rahul Jain]

I am trying to configure X server on an ARM based virtual processor.
The binaries that I have are from Xorg 6.8.2 however.
The frame buffer device that I have is a "CLCD: Versatile hardware,
Sanyo QVGA display". Now, this in theory seems to work as a
framebuffer device, since I can see the kernel boot up logo through a
GUI which communicates with it.
Since there was no device /dev/fb* I created one:

mknod /dev/fb0    c 29 0

But it looks like this is not correct, for when I try to start the X
server here is what I get:

/usr/bin/X11/startx: /usr/bin/X11/startx: 130: mcookie: not found
xauth:  creating new authority file //.Xauthority
xauth:  creating new authority file //.Xauthority
xauth: (stdin):1:  bad "add" command line
xauth:  creating new authority file //.Xauthority

If someone could please tell me how to get this working, I would be
really grateful. I am really sorry that I am using such an old version
of the Xorg server but this is what I have at the moment.

Thanks
