/dev/fb* missing

I am trying to run openwin on Solaris 5.8, but get an error:


/dev/fb: No such file or directory
Graphics Adapter device /dev/fb is of unknown type

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

giving up.
/usr/openwin/bin/xinit: Connection refused (errno 146): unable to connect to X
server
/usr/openwin/bin/xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error.

I also can not do xhost + and have set the display variable...

There is no device in /dev called fb, and I want to know how you create this?
