Hello Linux Users,

I have some Problems to get the X-Windows running. I have a 386DX40 PC with 8MB
RAM and a NONAME ET 4000 Card with 1MB RAM. I have installed the latest SLS 
Distribution of Linux (0.99p2). I think i have configured the Xconfig file 
right, because the monitor seems to synchronisize well. But after i start 
startx i get the following Error Message:

no SIOCGIFCONF
XFree86 Version 1.0Ya / X Window System
/protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 5000)
Configured drivers:
  VGA256 (256 colour SVGA):
      et4000, et3000, pvga1, gvga, ati, tvga8900
VGA256: et4000 (mem: 1024k numclocks: 4)
VGA256:   clocks: 25 29 32 36
Cannot open mouse: No such file or directory

Fatal server error:
                   failed to initialize core devices

What does it mean ?

I would be very pleased, if there is anybody who can help me. Many thanks in
forward.

	                                    Kai

PS: I add my Xconfig file. Perhaps there is an error ?
