- I'm posting this for a friend:
-
- I have problems running xfree86. When I try to run 'xinit' or 'X'
- my screen switches to graphics mode, displays some random dots in
- black and white and after a second or two I'll be back in text mode.
-
- Output of xinit >& err was:
-
- XFree86 Version 1.1 / X Window System
- (protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 5000)
- Configured drivers:
- VGA256 (256 colour SVGA):
- et4000, et3000, pvga1, gvga, ati, tvga8900
- VGA256: et4000 (mem: 1024k numclocks: 16)
- VGA256: clocks: 25 28 33 37 41 46 32 38 51 57 65 73 81 91 64 76
- Caught signal 11. Server aborting
- XIO: fatal IO error 32 (Broken pipe) on X server ":0.0"
- after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining.
- The connection was probably broken by a server shutdown or KillClient.
-
- Trying to start X with 'X' I got the same but an additional line:
- IOT trap (core dumped)
-
- I've rebuild the kernel with the patches and tested the
- kernel included in the XFree86 package.
-
- My hardware is a Noname 486 with 16MB Ram, a Targa win+ (et4000)
- graphics card, a Genius 3 button mouse (connected to com2),
- and an Adaptek SCSI-controller with 200MB Brand Harddisk.
-
- Thanks for any help
- Rolf
