Sender: news@cs.mu.OZ.AU Organization: Computer Science, University of Melbourne, Australia Distribution: aus Date: Mon, 14 Dec 1992 01:31:42 GMT Lines: 14 Hi All. I have 386BSD running fine, but I can't seem to get XFree86 running. I have a standard 486DX with an ET4000 based SVGA card and a normal 14inch monitor. When I run xinit, startx, X386, X386mono or xdm, the screen flickers and flashes, pops up a white background for a millisecond and then crashes out with the standard "server killed by KillClient" etc. Everything was installed as per the instructions, and I played around with the video card timings to no avail. What else do I need to do to get it running? Craig.
