Thanks for your suggestion. But I met another problem as making the Xfree86 server. The error message is " /bin/sh: line 1: 2926 Segmentation fault " Does that mean I should enlarge my RAM size? Thanks a lot. -----Original Message----- From: xfree86-admin@xxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:xfree86-admin@xxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Marc Aurele La France Sent: Saturday, November 05, 2005 12:09 AM To: cckuo Cc: devel@xxxxxxxxxxx; xfree86@xxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: How to debug xfree86 successfully On Fri, 4 Nov 2005, cckuo wrote: > I want to trace the behaviors of my video driver under Xfree86 and > have done the following steps which were collected from this mailing list. > 1. prepare two machines; one is called host, and another is called target. > 2. type "makeg World" under "xc" folder > 3. telnet the target from host and run "gdb /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86" > 4. under the gdb command mode type "run :0" > Here my question comes from.

The most straight-forward way of debugging an X server is to build it with ... #define DoLoadableServer NO ... in your xc/config/cf/host.def. After a `make World`, this'll build everything into one binary.
