How do I make XFree86 version 3.x- or XiG Xaccel 5.0.3- work with Solaris 8?
You can't.X servers for previous versions of Solaris rely on /dev/vt* virtual terminals,
which have been of end-of-life-ed in Solaris 8 (see an earlier question).
You'll get an error message similar to:
xf86OpenConsole: Cannot determine current VT.
You must upgrade to XFree86 version 4.x
or better which is currently (7/2000) available only in source.
XiG released 5.0.4 as a binary patch for its commercial X server.
