- Hi,
-
- Thanks to all the great help I received (Doug, Wei, Steve, et.al.).
- I got X running on my 386DX-33 clone, C&T chipset, 8MB mem,
- 50MB Linux partition, 9MB swap,Paradise VGA chipset.
- Thanks to Steve for telling me the location of the 'gwm' manual:
-
- You can get the doc of gwm from:
- xport.lcs.mit.edu
-
- in the dir:
- ~ftp/contrib/gwm
-
- For enquiring minds, I changed the .xinitrc to start the gwm with
- the additional -p argument to specify the path for the gwm
- lisp files (/usr/lib/X11/gwm). Now gwm can find all the files
- it needs.
- (I don't even think I needed to copy
-
- /usr/lib/X11/gwm/mwmrc.gwm to $HOME/mwm
-
- but I am not positive and can't check my linux system at this time).
-
- With this change my X windows came up and stayed up with no errors.
- An additional change to the Xconfig to change the mouse special file
- to '/dev/ttys1' and I am up and operational.
-
- Linux is Great! X is really fun! SLS made it easy!
- Thanks, again to all that helped me.
-
- Dan
