Summary: ico crashes server Message-ID: <1992Oct13.232323.18084@ponds.uucp> Date: Tue, 13 Oct 1992 23:23:23 GMT Lines: 38 Well, I finally got some time to get XFree86 going on one of my 386BSD boxes. After what seems to be the standard frustration with the font path, and mice, etc... (I think the setup has improved, by the way, from the old X11R4 version.) I was able to get things going. The first thing I did was run ico; which crashed the server rather quickly. I have determined that running ico on another host; displaying on mine seems to crash the server regularly; but running it locally can get a crash as well. I've run it with and without colors, faces, etc... that doesn't seem to be a problem. I don't think it would be wise to ship someone a core file; it's rather large: -rw-r--r-- 1 root 1093632 Oct 13 19:11 core.X386 I'm running this on a 33mhz 386DX, with a Cyrix '387, 12 meg of main memory, and an Adaptec 1542b and the released SCSI driver. I've applied all the patches in Terry's beta patch kit; and am using Chris D.'s serial driver. I'm using the latest XFree86 found in ports-0.1 on agate.berkley.edu. I would give someone a traceback, etc... but the server was stripped... I'm not suggesting putting the debugging information in there; it's much too large to download that way, it's just a shame. Also; I noticed that the PEX*.h files were missing from /usr/X386/include/extensions. I've noticed no other problems, so as long as I don't run ico - it's great! - Dave Rivers - (rivers@ponds.uucp)
