Hi folks!

I got a problem with XFree861.1
I did the tar and x386install stuff; everything was fine!
then i edited the Xconfig file, found my ET4000 card
(2-The-Max) took the parameters and used the standard monitor
settings!
Then I started xinit (also startx) then I got the following 
Message!

XFree86 v1.1 Xwindow System
(protocol version 11, revision 0 vendor release 5000)
Configured drivers: 
  VGA256(256color svga):
      ET4000,ET3000,PVGA1,GVGA,ATI,TVGA8900
XIO:  fatal io error 32 (broken pipe) on Xserver ":0.0"
      after 0 reqests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining.
      The connection was probably broken by the server shutdown or
      Killclient.

Anybody any suggestions ??
- Please help!
