Now that I have finally found a Linux distribution with the
correct versions of the "X" libraries for Netscape v.3.04
to run (BasicLinux), I have another problem. Any HTML text
displayed on the screen is "blacked out" as it scrolls onto
the screen! Often. the line of text at the top or bottom
that is scrolling onto the screen will remain readable.
After first seeing this and corresponding with Steven, I
added all of the X-window fonts; nothing changed. Since
I had a spare HD partition, available, a "standard" in-
stallation of Slackware v.3.5 was tried. This also had no
effect. Does anyone know what is causing this and/or how
to correct it? I am using the "XF86_SVGA" video driver
with a Trident TGUI9680 SVGA board. For a test I tried
the standard (16-color) VGA driver, but Netscape wouldn't
run with it.
On another subject, what can prevent linux from running an
executable ELF program? The program, a simple window man-
ager, reacts as follows to "bash" or "ldd". The output of
"ls -l" follows. The standard ELF "magic" is at the begin-
ning of the program.
