The title pretty much says it all. I grabbed 2.1.7 from cdrom.com the
other day and Xfree86 stable 2.1 to go with it. I installed everything.
I can run X windows and twm and fvwm no problem. I get xeyes, xconsole,
some other X apps running just fine, but xterms DO NOT come up. The
only warning/error message I have to speak of is that my shared
libraries may be old. Does any one know if the shared libraries are the
cause? Does anyone know how to make this work?
Just for curious parties: AMD k5-133, tseng et4000W32p_revb, 2 meg video
ram, att240c941 (hope that's the right number,) RAMDAC, Optiquest 2000DC
monitor, 16 meg ram, 1 gig IDE drive, etc. etc. (UMC motherboard
chipset.)
I want to buy the 2.2 CD, but what is on it? (Heck, is there a 2.2 CD
available?) I would like to see a file list for a CD for FreeBSD to
know much more than the "base" system I'm purchasing. I know its a lot
more. Can someone email me a "ls -lr" of their FreeBSD CD?
Lastly, I have a Hitachi IDE CD-ROM drive on 2.1.7, and the disk is
never ready to be mounted... "device not configured" Will 2.2 fix
this, does anyone know? I will try 2.2 out a little later, I just got
done sweating over 2.1.7.
Thanks in advance,
