Hi again!
First, THANKS to all who mailed and newsed!
Now I'm a little bit closer to the solution!
Second: path settings are O.K
Here is the result of xdm -nodaemon:
error (pid 88): Can't create/lock pid file /usr/X386/lib/X11/xdm/xdm-pid
But this file exists and has rw permissions for root.
If I delete this file the same thing happens.
Here is the result of xinit >>& xinit.log
XFree86 Version 1.1 / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 5000)
Configured drivers:
VGA256 (256 colour SVGA):
et4000, et3000, pvga1, gvga, ati, tvga8900
VGA256: et4000 (mem: 1024k numclocks: 16)
VGA256: clocks: 25 28 33 37 41 45 57 65 13 15 17 18 20 23 0 0
VGA256: SpeedUp code selection modified because virtualX != 1024
VGA256: SpeedUp mode selected (Flags=0xf)
failed to set default font path
'/usr/X386/lib/X11/fonts/misc/,usr/X386/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/'
Fatal server error:
could not open default font 'fixed'
XIO: fatal IO error 32 (Broken pipe) on X server ":0.0"
after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining.
The connection was probably broken by a server shutdown or
KillClient.
After that I looked into the fonts directories and found all fonts
compressed, so I thought maybe I should uncompress them, but this
ends in the same result!
You can see that the clocks aren't 36, 40 or 50 so I changed a little
the values of the 800x600 mode (thats the standard mode for this card)
to
"800x600" 40 800 841 968 1056 600 601 605 628
the screen flips to grafix-mode but apparently with wrong timings
Hey dudes help me to make it through!
