Message-ID: <ecoleman.718578172@qualcom> Sender: news@qualcomm.com Nntp-Posting-Host: qualcom.qualcomm.com Organization: Qualcomm, Inc., San Diego, CA Date: Thu, 8 Oct 1992 21:02:52 GMT Lines: 19 When I fire up X I get the following displayed on the console: init FATAL error: vga: Interrupted system call This message appears anywhere in the first minute after startup and then repeats itself ad infinitum. Once it does appear my xterm stops functioning - although I can log in from over the net and all appears to be well with the rest of the system. I'm running version 1.1 of XFree including the kernel supplied with it. Can anyone tell me what's going on here?
