I tried to install XFree86-1.3 last night, but never succeded. I am
using Linux 0.99.10 w/ net-2 and version 4.4 of libc. The Xconfig file
is a slightly modified Xconfig.example.
This is the output from X:
Setting TCP SO_LINGER: Protocol not available

I have a Compaq Deskpro 4/33i with Compaq Qvision graphics. Qvision is
supposed to be a superset of AVGA. Has XFree been tested together with
a Qvision card? Shouldn't XFree exit more gracefully if run on an
unsupported graphics card?
Please e-mail me (at daniel@pkmab.se) a copy of your reply, since I
unfortunately am unable to read news regulary during the summer.
