Subject:   Help! Can't run X on 3.2-RELEASE
Message-ID:  <19990729082652.A981@wr.com.au>

next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
Hello,

I am trying to configure X on 3.2-RELEASE. Everytime I run startx
however, the screen goes blank and I have to reboot the machine
using Ctrl-Alt-Delete. This is not good. I originally installed
3.1-RELEASE and upgraded to 3.2 via cvsup. I haven't upgraded
XFree86 though.

I can run the XF86Setup program ok, it is just the main server which
fails.

My system has 2 Matrox Milleniums in it (I am only expecting one
screen to display though until XFree86 4.0 arrives).

If I redirect startx, after I reboot I get:

XFree86 Version 3.3.4 / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6300)
Release Date: July 13 1999
	If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is newer
	than the above date, look for a newer version before reporting
	problems.  (see http://www.XFree86.Org/FAQ)
