Hi all, First problem; X runs on my machine pretty well but crashes moments later (as a result of a "fatal server lockup") on switching to a virtual console with the Ctrl+Alt+Fn keystroke. My system specs are as follows:-
Machine: Dell Optiplex GX10 Operating System: Debian GNU/Linux 3.0r1 "woody" Kernel 2.4.21 X -version: XFree86 version 4.1.0.1 (protocol version 11, revision 0) Video card: Onboard intel 810E The full server log is appended to the end of this message for your perusal. A similar installation on an equivalent machine but with an ATI Mach64 GB graphics card does not suffer from this problem. A little bit of tweaking XF86Config-4 like negating the UseFBDev option did not help much. Any solutions? Second problem, issuing the command startx, fires up KDE 3.1.3 by default. How do I set some other light weight window manager like fvwm to run by default without using a desktop manager like gdm? Actually, I love KDE but arts has issues with my sound card - Aureal Vortex au8220 and therefore want to kick start some other wm. Thanks and regards -- Alphonse Ogulla Nairobi, Kenya ----------------------------X server output----------------------------- hostname 2.08 warning: process set to nice value 0 instead of -10 as requested This is a pre-release version of XFree86, and is not supported in any way.
