Hello,

I have compiled X on my Indy running linux following the directions found
at http://honk.physik.uni-konstanz.de/~agx/mipslinux/x/x.html.  When i to
startx it seems to start X but no x ever shows up.  From
/var/log/xdm-errrors:

Any help?

I've never seen this kind of error before but the kernel you're using is
ancient, probably switching to a more recent one helps (2.2.16 and
2.4.0-test9 work fine for me). What version of glibc are you using? If
it is as old as your kernel you won't get anything to work.( I'm using
2.0.6-5lm here).

When I build X, in the execution of several key programs for 
installation, like xkbcomp, and in the execution of nearly all the base 
X utilities, like xdm, I receive a bus error.  Does anyone have any idea 
how to build to avoid this problem?  I'm building on an r5000 Indy.

What toolchain/glibc are you using?
