Signal 11 on startx

[frozen.flame]

Well, I installed Slackware-Current on an old 486 laptop. I ran through XF86Config and entered startx. The screen goes from the prompt to a blank screen like it's trying to get to the desktop, then it gets booted back to the command prompt and says:

"Fatal server error:
Caught signal 11. Server aborting"

I've heard it could be a RAM thing, so I tried pulling out my extra 24MB of upgrade RAM, but that didn't help either. I did take the hard drive out before to get some dimensions, but the Slackware installer should have checked for bad sectors. Hopefully it's not the built-in memory or the video card RAM. Anybody got an answer?

Signal 11 errors usually mean that your X server isn't configured correctly. Try re-running XF86Config and see if that fixes it.

Definitly a config error. I see them all the time when first setting up X. After playing with settings/drivers/etc... then it works just fine. Good luck with slack. It rocks.
