  Hi,
     Over the weekend I installed Xfree v1.1, followed the distribution README
 files. Made changes to Xconfig file in /usr/X386/lib/X11, mainly to do
 with my serial mouse and the Monitor timings -

 i.e 

   mouse"/dev/ttys0"    # my serial mouse is on com1
   Baudrate1200
   Samplerate150
   Emulate3Buttons

   Modes   "1024x768" "640x480"   #I have Trident 8900C chipset (TVGA)

 
 I also copied /usr/X386/lib/X11/xinit/.xinitrc to /root

 and then invoked
 
   startx

 Here, I got the following messages

  Unable to handle kernel paging request at address c0000004
 Oops:0000
 EIP: 0008:0001D95C
 EFLAGS: 00010206
 fs: 0017
 base: 00000000, limit: C0000000
 pid: 58 process nr:9
 8b 50 04 8b 50 08 8b 50 38 8a
 giving up
 xinit: Invalid argument (errno 22) unable to connect to Xserver
 xinit: No such process ( " 3) serever error
 [/root] Unable to handle kernel paging request at address c000002c
 Oops: 0000 
 ..... some more of the above stuff
 task [0] (swapper) killed: unable to recover
 kernel panic: Trying to free up swapper memory space.
 In swapper task - not syncing
 
 At this point my machine hung. 

 Given that I have the following :

   Linux/Minix partition : 40 Mb
          Swap partition : 7 Mb
                   Linux : 0.98 p2
                   gcc   : 2.2.2.d7
      gcc jump libraries : 4.1

 [Q] Whats gone wrong ?

 [Q] Is there something I have missed out in Xconfig ?
