Hi all.. I'm trying to get X up and running but having some trouble. I can get
the Xserver started then after about 3 seconds it dies with a strange error
message that I can't make out what it means.. .
I have a accel Cirrus Logic card, chipset clgd5428. If you see the output of
'startx' below, everything looks ok, except at the end when the X server
crashes with a 'BadAtom' message..
This crash only happens if I run 'startx'. If I run xinit then I'm able to
bring up the X server just fine along with a window manager 'twm'.
When I add 'xterm' to my .xinitrc file, it will crash the X server
causing the error messages you see below..
What's going on with 'xterm' ?
Any help is greatly appreciated..
Thanks..
p.s. I'm running 2.1.7-R and XFree86 3.2
please e-mail me at sst@thecore.com

If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is newer
than the above date, look for a newer version before reporting
problems. (see http://www.XFree86.Org/FAQ)
