I have been installing XS3 for a couple of days, but I couldn't make it run.. Hardware configuration: AIR VESA local bus 486-66 w/ Orchid Fahrenheit VLB + NEC-3A monitor What I've done: * download binary file of XS3.2a, install it as ..X11/bin/X386 create X as a soft link to X386 in the same directory -> ../X11/bin/ * uncompress all font files * changes in Xconfig as follow: > RGBPath "/usr/X386/lib/X11/rgb" > FontPath "/usr/X386/lib/X11/fonts/misc/,/usr/X386/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/" > Vendor "Orchid" > Clocks 0 1 2 b (found using clock program... and converted to hex) > Virtual 640 480 > Modes "640x480" > videoram 1024 > ModeDB > "640x480" 0 640 664 760 800 480 491 493 525 What I got: A screen full w/ blue vertical bars. If I press return, It will change color to white bars one line by line If I do "xinit >& errors", the following is what I'l get: > S3 > Init base @ 20c3000 > vgaHW.c read_error 0 > VGA256: Cannot read colourmap from VGA. Will restore with default > failed to set default font path '/usr/X386/lib/X11/fonts/misc/,/usr/X386/lib/X11/fo75dpi/' > Fatal server error: > could not open default font 'fixed' > > Exiting > X10: fatal IO error 32 (Broken pipe) on X server ":0.0" > .blah...blah.... Did I miss something when I installed it? I think I did something stupid! :) Or XS3 doesn't support Orchid Fahrenheit VLB yet? It's S3 though... Note: I don't have ../X11/rgb directory at all. What files should be there? The path is included in Xconfig. Is it the problem? Any help will be appreciated... I managed to run X using X386 w/ Trident 8900. It's slow. I want to use S3..:) -tandean
