I was trying to remote display a weather map on my machine and it did
not like it at all. Bacially, I run xv from another machine authorized
to display on my screen and X crashes locally, all the way out. At
least it does re-set the vidio mode back to text!
I get the following error:
xinit: connection to X server lost
Cannot execute KBDFORCEASCII ioctl: Inapppropriate ioctl for device
I don't understand why a remote client is causing xinit to loose it's
connection. More still, what is trying to force my keyboard into
ASCII mode? But regardless, something must be wrong here. I am running
a fully patched kernal (gcc 1.39 compiled), and the new XFree-1.2 from agate.
Any ideas?
-Dave
