Problems with X and Caldera

Problems with X and Caldera

Post by Donnie Grim » Sun, 22 Oct 1995 04:00:00



I got my copy of Caldera Preview II and installed it using the graphical
install.  X ran fine during the install processes, but after the reboot
I get errors when I run startx.   I ran the xfconfig program to make
sure that it was setup for my video card, but I get the same errors.
I have a P5/60 with a Cirrus Logic 5430 PCI video card.  At the
bottom of this message, I have included a list of the messages that
I get when I run startx.

Thanks for any help that you can provide.

With the 5430 use the SVGA server not the vga.  Rerun xfconfig and tell it to
use the svga server.
