Every time I try to start X-Windows, it hard crashes the system. Meaning, all telnet activity is halted, the console screen goes blank (losses signal), console interactivity is halted. I have to push the reset button in order to get anything back. I have properly (as far as I can tell), set up the configuration files via both the shell config program and the X-like interface (making me think that this is not a problem with the video, mouse, keybd, etc). The system is a 486-50 w/ 32MB RAM and plenty of free drive space (over 200MB on the drive with X on it and over a gig elsewhere) with a Diamond Viper VESA SVGA card (which I'm using as a Generic VGA card until I can at least get the thing to start). I'm running 2.2-RELEASE and the latest version of X11 from the ftp site. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you. -Justin Wolf (jjwolf@bleeding.com) (Also, please tell me where to direct X questions in the future...)
