xfree and esix hello netlanders i am a novice x user with a question for any xgod my computer configuration with the x problem is as follows dx ram running esix wangtek at style interface m tape drive i have loaded the basic os which includes nsu and inet utilities tcp ip i ftp ed the xfree x r binaries and installed properly i can execute startx and run x windows with no problems however if i try to access the tape drive while in x the machine locks up instantly if i am out of x and access the tape the tape drive works fine soon as i try to startx again the screen changes modes but the grey background pattern does not come up and no xterm is forked i have to login from another terminal and execute a shutdown to reset the system i ve contacted esix about this problem they claim their x window x r server which i have works with the wangtek tape drive they also claim i only need the nsu network system utilities to run x i don t need inet tcp ip my experience has been that i need both to get xfree to work i m not too concerned about having to load both nsu and inet packages to get x to work unless the inet package is causing my problem i would like to get both x and my tape drive to co exist on the same system if you can shed any light on the problem it would be appreciated one colleague implied this might be a hardware conflict if this is true what direction should i look to resolve the conflict thanks kenneth cobler ksc ihlpv att com at t bell laboratories shuman blvd naperville il
