Hi,

I want to add to this thread now that Oliver went on vacation
(I am working with him).

I have tried to repeat my previous success of running a stable X4.1.0
on my UP2000 and did the following.

1. Set up the machine from scratch with the CDRs we put the RH 7.1
   distribution on.
   -> X unstable

2. Update to the latest kernel 2.4.7
   -> no change, X unstable

3. Tried to 'rpm --rebuild XFree86-4.1.0-0.9.4.src.rpm'
   Requires some newer version of Mesa. Got that one only to find
   that that required XFree-4.1.0 to be installed -> Grrrrrrrrr
   A little 'rpm --nodeps' or 'rpm --force' (don't remember exactly)
   got Mesa installed.
   Additionally this XFree...rpm required the compiler gcc-2.96-93,
   which was not easy to find.
   Anyway, got that installed, rebuilt XFree and installed it
   -> no change, X unstable

4. Now for the interesting part: Took the three XFree86-tgz files,
   unpacked them. Read through the 'DRI Compilation Guide, 21 April 2001'
   again, created the host.def file, made 'World' and 'install'
   -> it got worse, now X won't even start.
   In /var/log/XFree86.0.log I find the following:
   ...

   (II) LoadModule: "bitmap"

   Fatal server error:
   Caught signal 11. Server aborting
   ...

   Does anyone have any idea what I could have done wrong in the creation
   of this library? Should I return to the older version of gcc?

PS: Is there a way to correctly handle the threading in this message list?
    I selected a message from
 
https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/private/axp-list/2001-August/thread.html
    but there is no choice of 'reply to this message' or similar. So I guess
    I will be opening yet another thread with the same title again.

It's all about bossing computers around. Users have to say "please".
Programmers get to say "do what I want NOW or the hard disk gets it".
