>Description:
I had problems running X in the past, and determined
that MULTICAST was causing my problems. I assumed that
it was something that I was missing (and may still be).
I unfortunately have no use for MULTICAST. Now that
MULTICAST is not an option, I am having the same
behavior. X never draws the stipple background, and
exits with the following error.
xinit: Resource temporarily unavailable (errno 35): unexpected signal 2
waiting for X server to shut down ..........
xinit: X server slow to shut down, sending KILL signal.
I have tried this with both pccons, and pcvt consoles.
>How-To-Repeat:
define MULTICAST for older kernels, or run X with newer
sources.
>Fix:
not presently known.
>Audit-Trail:
>Unformatted:
running.
