Dear Linuxers,
I would like to ask any of you guys who might know the problem with my X
windows. I had Linux 0.98pl6 (I think) and was able to run X. Due to
other reasons I reinstall Linux with SLS 0.99pl6 with the same stuff as
before (trident 8900C). When I run X, I get the screen (gray) then the
following message:
======================== start message ===========================

Please help as I have no clue where to start the debugging. Do I start
with the TCP package?
