Hey folx,
i've got a friend who isn't able to post but can read news!
So i will post his request for him.


=====================================================================

When i start the startx script or 'xinit...' my
system hangs after printing the message:

        X386 Version  1.2E 1.0.1  / X Window System
        (protocol version 11, revision 0, vendor rlease 5000)

Keys pressed are printed on screen (console) but there
is no reaction.
Only about 3 times the desktop appeared.
After reboot there is a coredump left.

My system:
	80486-33, 8MB ram
	520MB Fujitsu-HD
	Adaptec 1542B
	Genius mouse
	Cherry keyboard
	400MB BSD partition + 32MB swap space
	VGA with ET4000

Does anybody know how to solve my problem?
                                  Thanks
                                      Uli
(Please mail to:  joergens@snorre.informatik.uni-dortmund.de
                  if you can't post)

=====================================================================

Well, this was the problem.
Hope there is someone around who can help him :)
                                 Lothar
