Organization: Technion, Israel Inst. of Technology Date: Thu, 9 Dec 1993 10:07:21 GMT Message-ID: <CHrIsA.JFr@discus.technion.ac.il> Sender: news@wang.com Lines: 18 Hi all, we have the following computer here: USL UNIX System V Release 4.0 Version 4 for the Intel386 Family (well.. that operating system, anyway). I've installed XFree86 on it (we have a VGA monitor, ET4000 chip). Anyway... I've played around with the clocks and everything in the Xconfig file, and now X runs fine when I run it with startx. However, xdm doesn't seem to be able to open the display. xdm-errors looks like this: error (pid 293): Hung in XOpenDisplay(:0), aborting error (pid 293): server open failed for :0, giving up error (pid 210): Display :0 cannot be opened error (pid 210): Display :0 is being disabled XFree86 Version 1.3 / X Window System (protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 5000) ... plus all the clock modes etc., no more errors. does anybody have any idea why this happens/how I can fix it? Tamir
