I am trying to install X windows on linux. My linux version is
1.2.13 with a patch for IP in IP tunnelling support. I have
installed XFree86 version 3.1.2 with files from the elf and common
distribution.

I am using a NEC Versa 4050C laptop.
My laptop has Super VGA or SVGA video and I installed
the file X32SVGA.tgz from the XFree86 distribution.
I got the XF86config file for NEC Versa from the Linux laptops
home page.
I followed the instructions given in the INSTALL document to install
the X software.

I was able to run X when I used linux kernel version 1.2.13.
But when I added the patch for IP in IP,
I get the following error message when I start X.
As you see in the error message, PS2 mouse support is recognized.

Any suggestions on what I can do to make this work?

Thanks
