From: ramesh@utdallas.edu (R. Ramesh) Subject: Problems with X version 1.1 Date: 7 Sep 1992 17:33:19 GMT
Hi:
As the subject says I had/have quite a bit of difficulty in making X v1.1 to
work. version 1.0 works flawlessly (I am using it now) but v1.1 does not. I
cornered the problem down to X386 server. Here is what happens. With v1.1 I
get no image at all - all I get is a flickering screen (oh, boy! didn't I have
difficulty in getting out of X). When I replace the version 1.1 X386 by v1.0
X386 (but retain all other stuff from v1.1) I get back to working system.
Could some one tell me what I am doing wrong (I read the README's and I still
not able to see the answer to this, if it is there). Here is what I have:
1) gcc -v tells me
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-linux/2.2.2/specs
gcc version 2.2.2
2) Linux version 0.96c
3) Gateway 2000 486DX/33 with Diamond Speedstar Plus card and microsoft serial
mouse (I believe zorst has the same display hardware)
4) NEC 5FG (shouldn't matter)
Please help.
Ramesh.
PS. btw, could some one tell me how I can swap the functionality of backspace
and delete keys in X - RR.
