Well, hopefully the subject will get attention. I am sorry
I have been such a pain about this X thing, but it is really
getting on my nerves. But anyway... Here is this hours
problem. I have the Xkernel in place and all, configured
Xconfig for my SpeedStar video card and monitor, and typed
xinit. It gave me a list of configured drivers, put the
screen into a graphics mode (I was happy) and then dumped
me back out saying:
XIO: Fatal Error 32 :Broken Pipe
and went on about a server crash or Kill in progress or something
like that. Well, I have no clue what it is rambling about.
Can some of you people that have been very nice and patient
with me give me a hand. Thanks.
-Dan
