I've got 3.2 of X11R6 and FreeBSD Gamma 2.2 which I installed via FTP server. The machine is a homemade 486DX2/66 with a WD Caviar 534mb Drive on a DTC 2278-E controller. It has only 8mb of RAM (which I will upgrade if and when I can get X running) and a serial mouse on /dev/cuaa0 as well as a Linksys Ether 16 LAN card. There is a soundblaster 16 with a Creative Labs CD drive attached. The motherboard has an AMI WinBIOS that has setup parameters for the hard drive (Including 32-bit disk access, block, and LBA mode with enable/disable for all three) but has no integral IDE (or floppy) ports of it's own... hence the DTC card. When I try to run XF86Setup I get: wd0s1f: hard error reading fsbn 285803 of 285776-285839 (wd0s1 bn 519275; cn 257 tn 18 sn 29)wd0: status 59 error 40 spec_getpages: I/O read error vm_fault: pager input (probably hardware) error, PID 175 failure pid 163 (xf86config), uid 0: exited on signal 11 (core dumped) wd0s1f: hard error reading fsbn 285803 of 285776-285839 (wd0s1 bn 519275; cn 257 tn 18 sn 29)wd0: status 59 error 40 spec_getpages: I/O read error vm_fault: pager input (probably hardware) error, PID 167 failure pid 167 (XF86Setup), uid 0: exited on signal 11 (core dumped) I included two instances as I noted redundancy in the errors and thought this might help. xf86config gives me much less verbocity (word?) when biting the big one: segmentation fault core dumped My /etc/fstab: # Device Mountpoint FStype Options Dump? fsck pass# # (0=no) (0=no fsck) /dev/wd0s1b none swap sw 0 0 /dev/wd0a / ufs rw 1 1 /dev/wd0s1e /home ufs rw 1 1 /dev/wd0s1f /usr ufs rw 1 1 proc /proc procfs rw 0 0 Bryn Wm.
