Re: [coLinux-users] coLinux 0.6.2 crashing on trying to setup X (using xdm)

[Abhay P. <Abh...@in...>]

Hi!

Well, I've set up xdm so that it dosent start a remote X server.

These are the steps I've taken to enable xdmcp (so that I can connect
via cygwin's X server)

from some notes i'd made earlier to get it running on 0.6.1

1) apt-get install x-window-system-core xterm xdm enlightenment eterm
2) make runlevel 5 to /etc/inittab
3) setup xdmcp on xdm
		a) modify /etc/X11/xdm/xdm-config, hunt for the line DisplayManager.requestPort: 0 and comment it
		b) uncomment # any host can get a login window in /etc/X11/xdm/Xaccess
		c) now fire up X, modify your startx.sh file and call X like this
		  run bash -lc "X -clipboard -broadcast"
		d) double click on modified startx.sh script and lo and behold, u're ready to go, you should get an xdm screen

but now, when i double click on startx.sh (modified one), it dosent
connect.

So I just did an xinit at the console and this is the error I was
getting with /var/log/XFree-86.log

Fatal server error:
xf86EnableIOPorts: failed to set IOPL for I/O (Operation not permitted)

I googled a bit and it seemed to be machine specific or something, not
exactly sure, pardon my ignorance.

help?
