Red Hat USERS:
This week I upgraded a RH 4.2 Installtion with Red Hat's recommended
XFree86 3.3.2-1 for Intel and now XDM is failing to start with Systems's
"onboard" S3 Trio64V2/DX. The Trio64V2/DX had been working with S3 Server
included in 3.3.1 (I understood the V2 variety of the Trio64 had been
unsupported with the XFree86 3.2 included in RH 4.2 the Distribution)!
Symptoms: VTs 1-7 (including the one for the X-11 Server) are filled with
virtical lines of junk and the XDM Log reports:
xdm error (pid 280): Hung in XOpenDisplay(:0), aborting
xdm error (pid 280): server open failed for :0, giving up
xdm error (pid 275): Display :0 cannot be opened
Found XFree86 3.3.1-1.2 on an FTP Site in Japan (all the Mirrors I tried
and my own copies had overwritten with 3.3.2-1) and the Trio64V2/DX
appears to "happy" starting XDM at boot time (AGAIN)?
Might there a "bug" in XFree86 3.3.2's X3 support for the Trio64V2/DX
Chipset, or is there something "new" in the mix since this version was
built under 2.0.34 and is now being wrapped with "Xwrapper" instead of
"xserver-wrapper". I am NOT comfortable moving away from 3.3.2 since it
addressed some Security Issues, but 3.3.1 is the presently the ONLY way
this baby will "fly"!
