I've just installed Mdk 9.0 on an Athlon XP 1600+ 1.4 ghz machine. When
I fired up X it took hela long (like 5 min!) for it to start. I tried
everything I could think of and then eventually installed Mdk 8.2
overtop of it as an experiment. Sure enough, X is just as slow in 8.2
as it is in
It's not although AMDs groveling before MS and the world makes me wonder.
Try
$ startx $HOME/startx.log 21 [RET]
and see what's in the log file

before you get a hammer, consider this,
I run a xp 1700+ processor , and have run 8.0, 8.2, and 9.0 all without
any difficulty or special configuring.
I run an nvidia tnt2 32 mg agp video card, and have run several others
though no voodoo card though, so don't know.
I would guess it's another
$ startx $HOME/startx.log 21 [RET]

Here is what is in the file. See anything suspicious? I don't.
hostname: Host name lookup failure
XFree86 Version 4.2.0 / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6600)
Release Date: 23 January 2002
Bingo! Now all I have to do is figure out if the via82cxxx animal is the
onboard sound or the front USB port which I am not quite sure if I wired
correctly. ;-) I can probably just turn the sound card off and restart
and let harddrake handle it, if that is the case.

I'd be a little bit suspicious of that... Make sure your /etc/hosts file has
an entry like:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain

It is the MB built-in sound card! Turn it off in the BIOS, looks like it
may be defective.
The plot thickens. Check out these errors:

BINGO!!! :-) :-) :-)
It was the host file.
Thanks guys.
P.S. Glad the hammer stayed in the closet! :-)
