- Well I finally got X11R5 running on my RT (running AOS 4.3). Now I can't run
- xv because it can't malloc enough memory to uncompress gif or jpeg files.
- The RT has 16M of memory, and a 16M swap partition. I decided I needed to add
- a swap partition on the second disk. I used the minidisk program to create a
- 16M partition on hd1 of type swap. When I add the swap partition by
-
- swapon /dev/rhd1b
-
- It executes with no complaint, but when I check with pstat -s, no swap space has
- been added.
-
- What gives? Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
