Well.. here's the deal. I'm trying desperately to get
X386 to work on my system. I have a 386-40 w/ 80mb
partition for UNIX on a IDE MAxtor.. My video is 1MB
Diamond Speedstar Plus...
I got all the /usr/bin and /usr/lib etc... installed,
and after I finally figured out the /dev/vga problem,
I tried running X386.. well, it SORTA worked, and KINDA
locked up, but after that, any time I try to run X or X386
or startx or xinit, I get BIG PROBLEMS... It gives
the X386 startup message, and then hangs...
The only hint I get is that it leaves a "core.X386" file
as a residue of sorts..
Anyone have any clues what I am doing wrong?
I'm lost... I wanna go back home to msdosland... :(
