[XFree86] Xserver crash part #2: glx module
(If you missed it, I posted a few issues back about a strange crash, now I have more info as to the cause and how to get out of it again.) Yup, it is definately the glx module. Remove it and everything is OK. It won't crash right away. I have to have X up for about 20 minutes and then close it down before it gets stuck in graphic mode. This only happens on the S3 VirgeDx machine, not my other i810. *** If unresolved symbols were reported above, they might not *** be the reason for the server aborting. Caught signal 11.

Just save a known-good textmode: restoretextmode -w /etc/vga/textmode.save. Then put this in a small script you can blind-type (because the screen will be useless after the crash), such as /bin/tt: #!/bin/sh ## ## Reset textmode after an Xserver crash. ## restoretextmode -r /etc/vga/textmode.save When if/when the crash happens, (under root) just hit tt and you're out. ___ XFree86 mailing list XFree86@XFree86.Org http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
[XFree86] Building XFree86 3.3.6 using gcc3.3.5
Hello, everybody.I have an old laptop so I decided to compile install xfree86 3.3.6 CVS on Debian 3.1 with kernel 2.6.17.13. After make World world.log I find there is a error message in world.log, it appears: == In file included from fbdev.c:54: /usr/include/stdlib.h:748: error: syntax error before int make[6]: *** [ fbdev.o ] Error 1 and I find in stdlib.h: ... line747: /* Return the absolute value of X. */ line748: extern int abs (int __x) __THROW __attribute__ ((__const__)); line749: extern long int labs (long int __x) __THROW __attribute__ ((__const__)); line750: __END_NAMESPACE_STD ...

Re: [XFree86] Building XFree86 3.3.6 using gcc3.3.5
It may be that XFree86 3.3.6 isn't expected to compile with 2.6 kernels. We officially dropped support for XFree86 3.x versions some number of years ago and I know we did have to add some 2.6 kernel specific stuff to the XFree86 4.x servers. XFree86 3.x isn't necessarily any lighter than XFree86 4.x servers. The only reason for considering a 3.x server would be for old graphics adaptors which aren't well-supported in 4.x. Which graphics adaptor do you have? If it's well-supported in 4.x you're better off with 4.x. Mark.

Re: [XFree86] Building XFree86 3.3.6 using gcc3.3.5
Thanks for your reply. My old laptop has a Neogeo 128XD chip which I find it's supported by xfree86 4.x, and it has a CPU of pity pentium mmx 300, ram of 160M, I am afraid it has not the capacity to run the lastest version of xfree86 acceptably, because my graphic card does not support AGP. Could you give me an advice that which version of xfree86 should I install?
