- I'm still having problems with XFree86. When ever I run 'startx'
- or 'xinit' or 'X386 :0' the X server starts up, puts the screen
- into graphics mode (not clear) and just hangs.
-
- Using 'ps -alx' I get the following for the X server:
-
- UID PID PPID CPU PRI NI VSZ RSS WCHAN STAT TT TIME COMMAND
- 0 125 124 0 4 0 1536 516 ttyout S ?? 0:00.48 X :0
-
- hung while trying to write to a tty...
-
- So, using my ascii terminal, I ran X through gdb and stopped it with 'kill -9'
- and found the following stack:
-
- ioctl()
- tcsetattr()
- x386Io:x386SetSpeed()
- x386MseProc()
- EnableDevice()
- InitAndStartDevices()
- main()
-
- Ok, hung while doing an ioctl() to my mouse via /dev/com1. It's a Logitech
- mouse, and my Xconfig for my mouse is the following:
-
- Logitech "/dev/com1"
- # BaudRate 9600
- # SampleRate 150
- # Emulate3Buttons
-
- I've trying replacing the com driver with cgd's, but that was no help.
-
- Has anyone ever seen this? (or know of a fix :-)
-
- BTW, my problems might be due to the com ports that I have in my system.
- Here is a section of my config file:
-
- device com1 at isa? port "IO_COM1" tty irq 4 vector comintr
- device com2 at isa? port "IO_COM2" tty irq 3 vector comintr
- device com3 at isa? port 0x3e8 tty irq 4 vector comintr
- device com4 at isa? port 0x2e8 tty irq 3 vector comintr
-
- com1 and com2 are on a multi-io board (ide, fd, 2serial, 1parallel, 1game)
- and com3 and com4 are on a serial io card. Com3 is a 16450, and com4 is
- a 16550. They are all found and configured correctly at boot time. My mouse
- is on com1 and my ascii terminal is on com3.
-
- Again, any help is greatly appreciated!
