Hello Michel,
Thanks for your answer to my email. I appreciate a lot. Related to your
suggestion about the fact that the problem may comes from the headers files
comming from linux kernal instead of glibc, I've installed glibc headers
files and recompiled the kernel, then recompiled XFree86 with the new
headers files comming from glibc and the new kernel. The problem still
persist and I always receive the same error message.
Module Loader present
Markers: (--) probed, (**) from config file, (==) default setting,
(++) from command line, (!!) notice, (II) informational,
(WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.
(==) Log file: "/var/log/XFree86.0.log", Time: Fri Aug 16 20:57:47 2002
(==) Using config file: "/etc/X11/XF86Config"
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc: line 31: 17734 Segmentation fault twm
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc: line 33: 16076 Segmentation fault xterm
-geometry 80x50+494+51
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc: line 33: 9929 Segmentation fault xterm
-geometry 80x20+494-0
I suspect xdm to be in cause but really don't have any idea about where to
look for. I can post the input of my XFree86.0.log file if this can help.
Thanks
