First of all, I run the August 2.2-SNAP, on a PPRO 150, with a Matrox Millenium video card. To get the Matrox working I bought the AcceleratedX server from Xinside -- I think this may be the problem. When I hit a java applet, the browser leaves space for the applet, but it never actually displays. However, when I set my display over to my 486 win95 machine (running eXceed 5) the java applets show up just fine... which pretty much means my X server is the cause of my problems, no? When I installed the AccelX server, I only had one problem - it couldn't find libc.so.2.2 -> so I linked it to /usr/lib/libc.so.3.0. Everything seemed fine.. the X server ran with no problems, and I was amazed at the performance of AccelX!! Until it wouldn't show Java, that is :-) So, after it displayed on the PC, I grabbed the older libc.so.2.2 from the 2.1.5 CD and threw it in /usr/lib. I rebooted and the system seemed to come up fine. But still no Java -- plus, now when I display to the PC, I don't get Java either, and the JDK appletviewer doesn't work.. So I quickly put the link from libc.so.2.2 -> lib.so.3.0 back and now I'm back to the original problem. I'm guessing it's some sort of clash between libc.so and the AccelX server -- am I correct in assuming this? Someone please tell me they've solver this problem and that I'm not a random incident with no hope... I'm contacting Xinside as well, but I believe they only support up to v2.1R.
