The kernel is compiled with options XSERVER, UCONSOLE but without the enhanced console driver. I have a Gateway 2000 CrystalScan 1024 NI monotor and a Ati VGA-Wondercard, both of which are in the modeDB.txt file. I've editted Xconfig as directed and done a startx. The monotor blanks and then the system hangs. (ctrl-alt-del will not do anything, and the machine doesn't respond to telnet connections.) What do I need to do to get my system to run X? Here's what else I've tried. (They all do the same thing) DiamondStar card (not a 24 or 24X) of unknown type. I believe it's a diamond star + with Hicolor, and I tried all the diamond star entries. xinit >xinit.ou with no clocks defined in Xconfig. (Not only does it hang the system, the file is zero lenght when I look at it.) A CTX CVP-5468 monitor, and a Hyundai monitor, and all the combinations of the above equipment, and entries from the modeDB.txt file I could think of. My best guess is I've missed a kernel patch somewhere, or I'm cursed.
