Originally we had XFree86 on ia32 aka x86 only. When it was ported to m68k, I decided to call it XFree68 (for m68k and correct^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hendianness). And the X server for the (at that time m68k-only) frame buffer device was called XF68_FBDev. I think PPC used the name XFree86 for a while as well. > I was looking here becauase xkbcomp gives an error concerning not being > able to find symbols for pc/usa1, but I would be expecting it to look > for amiga(usa1), but symbols.dir lists xfree68/amiga(usa1), where my > XF86Config-4 lists for rules as xfree86. > > Please see http://www.luminet.net/~lancetag/debian/XF86Config-4 for my > /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file and > http://www.luminet.net/~lancetag/debian/startx.log for the signal 7 > error generated by startx (and also occurs when X is started during > boot up. > > Note that the xdm still works, as I have an Envizex X Terminal which > runs on this machine using the m68k xdm. > > Suggestions? Maybe the whole XFree68 has become obsolete?
