Can someone help? When I startx, I got:
Setting TCP SO_LINGER: Protocol not available
no SIOCGIFCONF yet
X386 Version 1.2 / X Windows System [linux S3-0.2 alpha]
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 5000)
S3
Unknown S3 chipset: 82
Here is My 486 system configuration :
NICE-EISA 486DX2-66MHZ with 256 cache, AMI BIOS
16MB RAM
Adatec 1542B SCSI Host Adapter
Teac 1.2 MB 5.25" Floppy, Teac 1.4 MB 3.5" Diskette
Toshiba 1.2 GB SCSI Hard disk
Wangtek 5150ES 250 Mag Tape drive
Diamond Stealth VRAM 1MB on board
Viewsonic 7 17" FS Multi-Freq Color Monitor
It is running Linux version 0.99.p14-62 and X386.S3-0.3.1.
I use Xconfig.f1280.V7 as the template for my Xconfig.
When I startx, the screen become black and I can hear the disk clicking
for a while and then quite. Nothing but black screen! I can ctrl-alt-
backspace to return to linux with screen is useable but some spots and
short lines shown. Even I went to vi, spots and short lines still there.
Thanks in advance.
