I installed RH Linux 6.0 on 2 computers and was trying to configure
X-windows. I have an on-board SiS 620 4MB for one computer and a S3 Trio
3D/2X 4MB card on another (oh no! not this card again!) I downloaded the
XFree 4.0 glibc2.1 and libc5 binaries and ran "sh Xinstall.sh -check" and I
have libc6.1 installed.
For both computers:
Q1. So which one do I use? Is glibc2.1 synonymous to libc6.1 (I know it's
explicitly not, but I thought I read it somewhere that they're the same
banana...)?
Q2. Because I wasn't sure what I was doing --- I installed the glibc2.1
first, ran xf86config and I could see some "shadow lines" following the
window edges... so I installed the libc5 binaries instead.
---> For S3 Trio 3D/2X - twm works nicely, but I don't like twm. How do I
configure the box to boot into GNOME or KDE? I tried running gdm, but the
screen just flickers (and I could see the gray background with the "X"
cursor for split seconds)
---> For SiS 620 - startx does not start any X. I ran "startx -- -bpp 8 >
b.out 2>&1" and the the last lines read:
parse error: line 1 of stdin
Errors encountered in stdin; not compiled.
Couldn't load XKB keymap, falling back to pre-XKB keymap

xclock: can't resolve symbol 'XmuCvtOrientationToString'

(yada, yada, yada...)
Can somebody help me to configure X? Any hints? Thanks.
