(X386) Message-ID: <1992Oct28.135303.1767@ufhx1.ufh.ac.za> Date: 28 Oct 92 13:53:03 GMT Article-I.D.: ufhx1.1992Oct28.135303.1767 Organization: University of Fort Hare, Alice, Ciskei Lines: 13 OK, I've installed the binary XFree86, and ran x386install. It gave me the "lacks X server support" warning. Then, I tried to patch the kernel (Beta-1) with the patches, and I got many "hunks failed" messages. Made sure that XSERVER an UCONSOLE was added as options, and reconfigged. No joy. Scrutinized pccons.c (esp. for "pc_xmode" changes), it looks ok, seems that the Beta-patchkit already includes some of the X386 patches needed, but when I grep 386bsd for 'pc_xmode', there's nothing. When I run startx, I still get the fatal server error" CONSOLE_X_MODE failed... I must be overlooking something obvious? Please point me right.
