PROBLEM STATEMENT

Fatal server error:
InitOutput: Error loading module for /dev/fb

XIO:  fatal IO error 146 (Connection refused) on X server ":0.0"
      after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining.

Sun Jan  6 11:32:03 2013
error (pid 26492): Server for display :0 can't be started.
      Warning: Null child found in argument list to unmanage

PROBLEM CAUSE

This fatal X server error message indicates that /dev/fb, the "dumb frame buffer," is either missing or corrupted. It is usually followed by a "giving up" message and a few xinit(1) errors.


SOLUTION

 1. If other devices on the system are not working correctly, the system might have a corrupt /devices directory.

2. Halt the system and boot using the -r (reconfigure) option. The system will run fsck(1M) if the /devices Filesystem is corrupted,

3. The problem has been resolved and now able to login into the X Manager and working fine
