Hi, everyone:
After a few days of trying, I can not get X386 working on my 486 machine.
Start with "xinit", I only got into graphics mode twice during the last a
few days and then the system hangs. But most of time, after the console
displays the following message:
X386 1.2E 1.0.1 / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 5000)
the system hangs without going into the graphics mode and dump a "core.X386".
So, what am I missing?
Here is my configuration:
Hardware:
GA-486US Local Bus motherboard, 64KB Cache, CPU: Intel 486-33
8MB 60ns RAM
Quantam LPS240AT IDE Drive, 30MB for DOS
GA-200 Local Bus VGA card with 1MB memory (ET4000 based)
NEC 5FG monitor
Legend mouse in com1
Kernal: 0.1.26 (Comes with X386 binary)
Xconfig file:
RGBPath "/usr/lib/X11/rgb"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc/,/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/,/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/"
