There has been many installations >using the /pub/incoming/X386 and have reported no problems to me. I am having quite serious problems actually, whenever I start the X-server, the system crashes. (this is when using the version from incoming). The system crash is usually in a place totally unrelated to the X-windowing, parts of the kernel. This occurs with both my own kernel (fixes for more memory than 8Mb plus all fixes supplied with the Xfree86 distribution) and the kernel supplied with Xfree86. My configuration of system is like this: 486-50 (unkown brand) 16 Mbyte ram Adaptec 1542b 400 Mbyte Micropolis disk ET4000 VGA-adapter supporting up to 1280x1024x4 and 1024x756x8 (probably 1152x900 too) Genius 3-button mouse If anyone has any idea where I can start looking for the problem I should really appreciate any help. (I don't mind a bit of kernel-hacking, but I am very busy at work right now, so hobby projects like this is on low priority).
