Do X work ok on the Picassos? > It was not usable on my system (A2000, Blizzard 2060-50, 96 MB Fast) since X crashed when the screen blanker kicked in, i.e., if I was able to launch it at all.

I am not using Linux at the time. Happy New Year everyone! Regards, -- Christer Email: [email protected] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
