Hello,
I've a problem to make XFree86 to run on my Linux OS. Here is my setting and
what steps:
XFree86 v 4.2.0
Linux Kernel v 2.4.19
GLIBC v 2.2.5
GCC v 3.1
1) I've downloaded, compiled from source code and installed XFree86 v 4.2.0
on my OS with make World; make install; make install.man. All success
without problem.
2) I've created xfs UID & GID called "xfs" and started xfs binary with
command "/usr/X11R6/bin/xfs -droppriv -daemon". All success without problem
again.
3) I've runs command "XFree86 -configure" to configure my video card and
other required setting for X to work then issued the recommended "XFree86
-xf86config /root/XF86Config.new" to test the server. All success without
problem.
4) I've copied the resulting "/root/XF86Config.new" file generated by the
above "XFree86 -configure" command to the /etc/X11 directory and renamed it
"XF86Config" for X to use it as default config file. All success without
problem.
5) I've started the X server as explained in the documentation files with
the "startx" command and get the following error message:
XFree86 Version 4.2.0 / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6600)
Release Date: 18 January 2002
If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is
newer than the above date, look for a newer version before
reporting problems. (See http://www.XFree86.Org/)
Build Operating System: Linux 2.4.19-92 i686 [ELF]

(==) Using config file: "/etc/X11/XF86Config"
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc: line 33: 357 Segmentation fault twm
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc: line 33: 6638 Segmentation fault
xterm -geometry 80x50+494+51
waiting for X server to shut down
Can somebody please help me here because I've tried everything and nothing
seem to work, I'm lost and really lost now.
Thanks in advance.
