If anyone can shed some light on the following problem, I'd much
appreciate it.
I'm having a problem getting X11 (Xwindows) to run with 386ix.
I have configured the asy driver and rebuilt the kernel to support the
Logitech serial mouse on COM2; then installed the X11 package and again
rebuilt the kernel. I have installed the X3 "server" fix from Interactive,
which does not ask for a kernel rebuild.
The entry in /usr/lib/X11/Xconfig reads:
Resource Type Info Display Device
mouse LOGI-S "1200 3" 0 /dev/tty01
display EGA "640x350 16 11x8" 0 /dev/console
keyboard AT 101 0 /dev/console:dev/vt%02d
It won't come up when I issue "xinit" like it's supposed to...I get messages:
------------
WARNING: Cannot create TCP socket::no such file or directory
Fatal server error: the Logitech mouse is not responding--check the connecti
& try again. If it still fails, try unplugging & replugging the mouse.
XIO: fatal I/O error 32 on xserver "??" Broken pipe after 0 requests
(0 known processed) with 0 events remaining. The connection was probably
broken by a server shutdown or Kill client.
-------------
Since I don't have TCP/IP installed at the moment the first message is
"expected". I do have the STREAMS facility installed.
The mouse problem I don't understand because the configuration is pretty
simple, and it responds in plain Unix if I use "cat < /dev/tty01" and
move the mouse around.
Is the I/O error due to the mouse problem?
Thanks in advance for pointing me in any helpful directions.
