Hi everyone,
I've been trying to lift a working XF86 setup from one machine to
another machine. The target/dump machine has no build capabilities.
In fact runs on a very stripped down environment using busybox. The
errors I get upon running startx and xdm are listed below. I know this
can be done on a stripped down environment as was able to make this
work way-way back using legacy XFree86 and Linux kernel releases
with very little fuss. Right now, I seem to be missing some native Linux
files required by the current XF86 release.
And further, xdm does launch, has a working mouse pointer, and I am
able to log with a user ID and Pass. xterm however, doesn't load, even
if invoked via mouse click.
Here are my logs:
I just attached my XFree86.0.log as it is quite lengthy. If the list has
problems with attachments, please inform me.

...And btw, what do I tweak to make xdm use a -nocpp flag?
TIA & Best Regards - Vic
