Saludos, FreeBSD gurus!

I'm trying to configure X in an old sparc ultra 10.

I tried  without modifying GENERIC kernel, and I got:

Fatal server error:
xf86OpenConsole: No console driver found
        Supported drivers: syscons
        Check your kernel's console driver configuration and /dev entries


Now, in my kernel configuration the only thing that I found
about graphics cards is:

#device   creator         # Creator graphics cards
#device   splash          # Splash screen and screen saver

But I do not know if I have a "creator" graphics card.

I uncommented this lines and recompile again.
The result was the same.

I found "vga" in man pages.  According to this page,
you can add:

	device	vga

in your kernel configuration, but when I try it says:

UltaMan:/usr/src/sys/sparc64/conf# config evs
config: Error: device "vga" is unknown
config: 1 errors


Have you installed (and ran) X in this kind of computers?
Does it work?
Is there any trick I have to learn?

Thanks in advance.

	Eduardo.
