Apparently I must, no framebuffers. Actually this test machine is i815, and one of my goals is to have this system run on i686's from Pentium III up to my Conroe Core-Duo. > > _XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: failed to open listener > > for inet6 > > > > This looks like IPv6 is missing in kernel. It is. I'm not dealing with IP6 until I have to. I can stop this with: alias sx='startx -- -nolisten inet6' but that comes a little later. That's not a worrysome problem now. > > Kernel command line: root=/dev/hda12 mem=523200K > > Have you tried without mem= parameter on kernel command line?

NB - in xorg.conf.d you probably Need? Perhaps not. Want, though. I get eye-strain using the sort of maximum resolutions X thinks is reasonable to present.

I've gone back to LFS-6.6's kernel-2.6.32.7 already, and am going to patch up to 34.13 today, with extra care going through oldconfig. I'll make sure to enable it. I don't really expect that to "fix it", but figure an Official Stable Kernel is a good place to be while there are "issues". > Did it shut itself down (i.e. it doesn't work, so yes, you do have a > real problem), or did you kill it ? No, I shut it down from the fluxbox menu. All I needed to see was if the MTRR errors were still present at startup and shutdown. As you noted this was a common problem with XOrg of this vintage, but one would think a known resolution would be easier to find documented.
