[comp.unix.sysv386] X386 1.1 Problems

ejm@coyote.datalog.com (E.J. McKernan) (02/25/91)

We just installed Roells X386 1.1 here and are having major problems.
The installation went smoothly, replacing the old X386 1.0 system.
The 1.0 version worked great.

Executing:
	X -debug

Results in:

Creating TCP socket: No such file or directory
InitOutput(pScreenInfo=0x40ae04, argc=2, argv=0x7fffff44)
X386VTInit()
vgaScreenInit(index=0, pScreen=0x42d400, argc=2, argv=0x7fffff44)
bus error

Our Xconfig contains:
 
 ET4000  1024  1152 900   25 28 32 36 40 45 55 64  "800x600"
 "800x600"   36     800  820  956 1000    600  610  617  633

Our system doesn't have TCP/IP installed.

Any idea what's wrong? I'd love to use 1.1 but will go back to 1.0
if need be.

Thanks in advance.

Are you using a Microsoft mouse?  If so, that is your problem!  I had the
exact same bus error when using a MS mouse.  Switching to a Mouse Systems
mouse cut out the bus errors.  Try fiddling with the config settings, and
see if that doesn't reduce your bus errors.  It won't help you if you don't
have a Mouse Systems or Logitech mouse, but you will know where the problem
lies.
