Kernel 2.2.10 (m68k) and xserver-fbdev
I updated from slink to potato and got some problems with the xserver-fbdev.
After the update -- still with my custom Kernel 2.0.36 -- the colors of the
X-window system where somewhat unusual like dark blue text on black background.
I had to downgrade to the xserver-fbdev Version 3.3.2.3 from the slink
distribution to solve that. Everything worked fine.
Next step was compiling a new kernel from the kernel-sources version 2.2.10.
I applied the patches for this package, made the configuration, depend and
the building. With the new Kernel booting was ok, programms running on console
worked, but X failed. The following output was created by
X >x.out 2>&1
XFree86 Version 3.3.2.3 / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6300)
Release Date: July 15 1998
If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is newer
than the above date, look for a newer version before reporting
problems. (see http://www.XFree86.Org/FAQ)

Fatal server error:
Caught signal 11. Server aborting
When reporting a problem related to a server crash, please send
the full server output, not just the last messages
The problem is not related to the version of the xserver-fbdev, the new
version from the potato package produces the same results.
My computer is an Atari ST with 50MHz 68030, 40 MB RAM and an external ISA-bus
video card (ET4000). I would appreciate getting some tips to get the new kernel
running.
