Actually, now I've got firefox built and can read the xorg archive in comfort, I'm starting to feel ambivalent about 7.3. I'm using the patch at the moment, but it doesn't enable the Scroll Lock LED (I use that when I map my keyboard to russian or greek). I might just have to learn to look at the screen to see what I have actually keyed. Hopefully, 1.4.1 will fix things without introducing new problems (I can dream, can't I ? ;-) There was one big usability shock - keyboard autorepeat had gone. Fortunately, adding 'xset r rate' to ~/.xinitrc fixed it (man xset, but for me 'xset r' and 'xset r rate 0' didn't work, although 'xset r' on the command line seemed ok). ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
