Please try to - disable all caches (I had this when I enabled both linear burst and external cache on my Cyrix 200+ system). - increase wait states - possibly slow down the system clock (shouldn't be neccecary though, might just help). Once you've got something that works, you can try to step-by-step increase the speed again, and find what was wrong. Another possibility is that the disk itself is bad. Reformat the disk, run Norton (or some other disk checking utility) on the disk and make sure that there are no bad sectors. -- Lamar Folsom [EMAIL PROTECTED] Life is wasted on the living. - The Master -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Problems with X
Howdy, y'all. Before I explain the problem, let me provide a little background. A couple of weeks ago, I decided to upgrade my system from 1.2 to 1.3. Rather than just switching to the frozen directory and upgrading packages, I did a full install to see if I could help test the new distribution. Things went well until I got to X. Unfortunately for me, I had forgotten to save off my working XF86Config file, so I went ahead and generated a new on using the nice vga16 method. The newly generated config file didn't work. X would start with no errors, but tty7 was blank. I thought that maybe I had specified the wrong parameters for my monitor, so I verified those in /usr/doc/X11/Monitors and made some minor adjustments in XF86Config. I got the same result; tty7 was blank. I then decided to try the old tty version of xf86config and regenerated the XF86Config file. Once again, the same result. I now must admit to being stumped. I would appreciate any and all help. I'm including the output from startx, and the Device, Monitor, and Screen sections from /etc/XF86Config.

Re: Problems with X
hi Lamar, I had something similar happen to me. The problem is in your /etc/X11/Xserver file the last line should contain the following: :0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X The reason why you are not getting anything on tty7 is that you are not starting your xserver. I hope this helps. Just for grins do a ps-aux to see if xdm is running. Paul Hi, Paul. Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, it doesn't fix the problem. I think that you meant to say that ':0 lamar /usr/X11R6/bin/X' should go into /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers. At least this is the format of the entries in that file. When I put it into /etc/X11/Xserver, it seems to have no effect, and even when I add it to xdm/Xservers and try starting 'xdm -nodaemon' to test xdm, I still get a blank screen on tty7. (btw, xdm isn't running normally. I changed /etc/X11/config to skip starting xdm since X will run without errors but give me no screen.)

Problems with X, reprise
Hi again, y'all. Though Paul's suggestion didn't solve my problem, it _did_ remind me that /etc/X11/Xserver should be pointing to /usr/X11R6/bin/X instead of XF86_W32. After I made this change, I now get a different response from the X server: (crystalcave:merlin)~$ startx Unable to load interpreter _X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 111 giving up. xinit: Connection refused (errno 111): unable to connect to X server xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error.

Re: DEITY TEAM -- one comment
Francois Gouget writes: Unfortunately in some cases it is not so simple to check for space availability as /var may be on one partition, /usr on another and /lib yet somewhere else. Should be doable. df to get all the partitions and their capacities, df /var, df /usr, etc to get the filesystems containing these directories, and a script to sort it all out. Does this mean that each package will have to list the space it requires in every directory and the packaging software will figure out if each of those directories is on a separate partition? I have seen a user that had separate /var, /usr/lib, and /home partitions. Please figure out how much space to report for postgres and how it will be reported. I think figuring out how much space is required for the installation may be more difficult than just doing 'df' on each partition and sorting it all out. -- Lamar Folsom [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.cs.uidaho.edu/~fols9488 Life is wasted on the living. - The Master -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
