  Tried this, and still got problems as before. Can anyone suggest something ?
Can anyone shed some light this diagnostic error message :

  Resources temporary unavailable (Errno 35)
 
  Does it mean the kernel has got no support for X ? I have installed patchkit
0.2.2 to my original kernel to get to current stage. So, I think the support
for X should be there ! 

   Many thanks in advance and desperate for some help !!!
