I have just installed XFree-1.1. Whatever configuration I try, it always
outputs the following:

XFree86 Version 1.1 / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 5000)
Configured drivers:
	VGA256 (256 colour SVGA):
	         et4000, et3000, pvga1, gvga, ati, tvga8900
XIO: fatal IO error 32 (Broken pipe) on X server ":0.0"
	after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining
	The connection was probably broken by a server shutdown or KillClient

....can anyone help me with this? Have I mis-configured or missed some 
patches I was supposed to install before everything...?

Ref.) 	I used Patch-kit 0.2.1 and recompiled the kernel for X support
	The video card I am using is of et4000
	The machine is 486DX/50 and 16megs of RAM ISA machine
	The monitor is a noname brand whose bandwidth is 65MHz

I used the following setup:

i) clocks 25 28 32 36 40 45 56 65
   1024x768 virtual mode with VESA standard monitor config
ii) same clock +
    1024 1088 1200 1328  768 783 789 818 at Clock 65MHz.

Thanks in advance.
