Well I finaly found the trick to get a stable X server on an apa16 display! This only applies to people running 4.3bsd AOS VER 2 on a RT/PC. The trick is to compile the server with hc4.1 instead of hc. The rest of the distribution I made with hc2.1. Hc4.1 comes with AOS 2 so there is no need to pull it off of tape. There may be a problem woth _Alloca being undefined. First make sure your Rt.macros define HCVERSION = 41018. If _Alloca is still undefined try adding -ma to the compile flags on hc. Since I could not trace down where the _Alloca was being used I used the sever/os/4.2bsd/genalloca.c and changed alloca to _Alloca and put it in the makefile. Hopefuly flagging -ma will prevent the need for this, I did not want to sit through yet another make untill the next set of fixes come out so I do not use -ma yet. JonnyG.
