I've got a developer copy of Esix Rev C, 4 meg, AST 386/33. Can't get X11 to run for more than about 5 seconds. Locks the machine up. Tech support couldn't help, but I gave them very little to go on. Suggested maybe I get more physical memory. I have tried several video cards, mice, reinstallations, but not more memory (don't have any)... I was also curious about the xque.h file, which is copyrighted AT&T, but not included in 386/ix. Seems ESIX doesn't come with the standard Unix mouse routines, and perhaps uses this instead, but the header file references a xq_init() function I can't find on my disk, nor is there a man page. tom -- Tom Friedel JDyx Enterprises (404) 320-7624 tpf@jdyx.UUCP Unix BBS: (404) 325-1719 <= 2400 ; (404) 321-5020 >= 2400 "Live simply, so that others may simply live."

I was having a similiar problem, but not so bad since I have 8 meg, and it eventually occurred to me that the problem was with the Hard drive. mkpart -v told me that there were bad sectors in my swap partition. The problem hasn't gone away completely. But now it takes a lot more than just X to crash my system. Ross Biro bir7@portia.stanford.edu
