Falko Dressler stands accused of saying: > I tried to start X11(R6/R5) clients like the GNU emacs or pcemu (with some DOS programs in it) > under the XFree 3.1.1 S3 server but I failed. Everytime the server crashes with some > unexpected errors. > Do you have any idea how to solve this problem? Yes. Fix the cause of the errors. > Falko Dressler Falko.Dressler@rrze.uni-erlangen.de (In case you hadn't noticed, the above language technique is called "irony". If you don't have a sense of humour, you can read the above as "No, I haven't the faintest idea how to solve the problems, and indeed you can't solve them because Xfree86 is in fact a hoax. It's really an Amiga emulator with every third byte replaced with one taken randomly from a really inaccurate translation of the Koran into sanskrit.")
