I installed XFree4.0b...but it doesn`t work...
after startx command it loads a bit and it freezes the whole system.
You have to reboot and filesystem is corrupted..(I ran fsck 3 times :) )

Do you use update/bdflush/whatever? I get lotsa lockups when hacking
kernels and X servers, but I've never had to run fsck more than twice
(once automatically and once manually).

I had a case where such a freeze hosed various things on my root and usr
partitions. That was during the XFree 4.0 PCI resources trouble hacking.
Is the machine in question one with Mach64 graphics?

No, it's an Amiga with Permedia2 and he used the wrong binary.
