Thanks Jim.
I am sending this mail to the mailing list with a copy to you. The next one
will not be marked to you.
I found a workaround for that. I know that SiS 6205 is not supported chipset
in XFree86 4.x. But you can still use the same with the vesa driver provided
with 4.x. It works fine when I am using it on a machine with 32MB of RAM with
P100MHz processor.
However, with the same XF86Config file when I try to use it over a LTSP remote
boot station. (the P100+32M is the Diskless Node and the server is a PIII
850MHZ with 512M), then the Xserver starts up and shows the xdm login screen.
Now when i try to login & start up either gnome or kde it crashes the XServer.
Could not figure out the exact place where it crashes.
Should anybody be interested here is the lts.conf file (some entries not
relevant have been removed)
The entries that are of interest are the the test and training entries. Both
of them have a similar setup.
As I was facing problems with VESA driver, I thought I might go back one step
and load XFree86 ver. 3x and that is what i did. I loaded XF86_SVGA server and
now the card functions.
Can anybody throw some light on this.
Thanks and regards,
jaggu
