I've recovered the bo xbase, svga, and vga from a bo archive. This was necessary, as the hamm xserver is unstable on my system; a busy netscape, or realplayer, bring it down hard enough that it can't be used again until after reboot. Ncurses3.0 was also necessary for xterm.
I've reconfigured, and almost all of it seems to work. However, while startx works, xdm doesn't. It simply sits in the backround with a ?. It leaves no /var/log/xdm-errors or /root/.xerrors entries. is there another place to look for errors? and while the current XF86Setup allows setting the default resolution, this program creates a file incompatible with the older server. How do i set the resolution with startx, as it doesn't take the -bpp option? rick --
