Re: [XFree86] How to enlarge history lines in xterm
This may be what you are looking for. In my .Xdefaults file I have a l ine that says: xterm*scrollLines: 1 From the man page on xterm: scrollLines (class ScrollLines) Specifies the number of lines that the scroll-back and scroll-forw actions should use as a default. The default value is 1. Hope this helps. Steve S. On Fri, 15 Oct 2004, Gilmar Mendes wrote: Hi guys! It's a shame, I can't change the history from xterm, thus I exchange the mouse wheel by 'less'.

Re: [XFree86] How to support Chinese fonts in X11?

Perhaps there is a way of searching through fonts, and determining their sizes. I've been facing some of the same problems trying to get Japanese Fonts/io to work on my machine. This whole arena is pretty complicated and after several months, it's finally starting to make some sense. What worked for me was to contact the Tokyo Linux User's Group, where a bunch of people have had to deal with the same problems. Also, there's a really good book on CJKV Information Processing from O'riely that you may find very useful. Look at _CJKV_Information_Processing_by Ken Lunde. Is there a similar Linux User's Group in Tiwan or China? They may be able to give you exactly what you need.

Re: [XFree86] Linux doesn't work
A good place to start is http://www.linux-on-laptops.com . There are three entries for people who have installed on Dell Inspiron 3500's. This is where I usually start when putting linux on a new laptop. Steve S. Feuri Adams wrote: Hello, is tried to install Linux 8.1 on my Dell Inspiron 3500 Notebook. But only the textmode works.

Re: [XFree86] SuSE X Issues
Hi Jeremey You don't mention what laptop you're using, but I've been using SuSE 9.0 for a month or so on an HP ze4400 with no problems. When it first came up, it was in 800x600 mode but I went into YAST2 and selected a 1024x768 TFT 70 Hz monitor and all went well. I'd suggest the same approach for you. Log in as root in failsafe mode and run sax2 and select a different monitor. The one I'm using is LCD:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Hz. So far, I'm very happy with SuSE 9.0. One of my other machines is at SuSE 8.0 and another at 8.2 and the move was more than worthwhile for me. I'm eventually going to get the other machins on 9.0 too. Steve S.

Been using RH 7.3 for quite some time but wanted to update my laptop. Below is the email I submitted to the local LUGs I participate in and tried a few suggestions to no avail. Suggestion was to post a question to you guys:) Hope this is what you need. Any suggestions appreciated. PS:I did peruse the XFree86.org site to see if anyone else had a similar issue. SAX2 does not seem to have any ability to 'adjust' the screen (though If my understanding of TFT serves this would be expected). ** I decided to give SuSE 9 a try. Install: Went rather well considering it was a network install. The interface was ok. Had to do install over internet as I wanted to try it before making any monetary investments in media. First issue was that you have to record your source server(s) and directory path for the installation location. (Oh, and not just the names but the IP as name resolution does not function outside of manual intervention.) You also had to manually tell it to detect and enable the NIC, quite important for a network install. After a rough start, which I chalked up to that who German 'way of doing things', I walked through the post install mini configuration. Was seemingly simple; prompted me to enable all pertinent devices, even go my sound card and win-modem. First boot: Boot time was a tad slow but not completely unusual. Apparently it does some kind of automatic logon of the user account you create. (don't remember it asking me to turn that on). The real problem was that the screen was split 3/4 of the way down and then wrapped back onto itself. Kind of hard to explain but it was like the 'bottom' of the screen was about 2inches too high and then instead of truncating it (or where you have to 'pan' the mouse up to see the rest) it just wrapped the missing top 2inches of the monitor down onto the bottom. I ran the configurator and tried different video monitors, cards, etc to no avail. Tried to find a 'bugzilla' for SuSE but that does not seem to exist. Ended up emailing [EMAIL PROTECTED] and go a response back telling me to respond with the support number off my copy of SuSE. (though the email did point to a site that had some archived help fixes that I checked out nothing about this kind of issue sience 2.2v kernel stuff). The situation would have been workable if not for the last feature that Konquer's functionality as a web browser is abysmal and my selection of Mozilla as an 'additional' option to be installed ended up with a plethora of missing configuration files. This meant I had to reboot into windows to look for and try fixes. I believe it is a XF86Config file issue. So long as the TFT is disabled the system boots fine with a regular monitor. I copied the configuration file from a Knoppix 3.3 (which works great) and after cleaning up some font references X started but had the same issue.(I also did the same for a Fedora XF86Config file which was the exact same 4.3.0 version). After googling around for a while I have just about given up on SuSE. Sad, considering that most big OEMs are hopping in bed with them as fast as they can as one of the last 'corporate' distros.
