I have XFree86 setup; but with some problems. First, the setup from dselect did not indicate that I neded any fonts to be loaded, and this (of course) caused failures. THis would be a good dependency to note!
Also; the level of detail for Xsetup that requires refresh rates, dot-clock, chip set numbers, etc.. is horrendous! I have run several X-win servers under windows and Unix, and never had to try to input this level of detail.. I also have a common monitor (Gateway Vivitron 17"), I see only one Gateway in teh minitors list. The list is very sparse! ----------------- So, remaining issues: 1) when it boots, I get a big screen with the login prompt partially visible in the lower right; ^Atl+ reduces resolution so it mostly fits. login works, but I then get a non-workable screen (a hashed outline on a gray background). ^alt-^H kills it back to a login, I have to ^alt-F1 to get a workable console. I disabled the xdm startup now... Solutions? 2) I also find the mouse doesn't work; a standard MS 2-button mouse; how to diagnose the problem? Thanks for any help. -------------------------------------------------------- Dr. Gregory Guthrie [EMAIL PROTECTED] (515)472-1125 Fax: -1103 Computer Science Department College of Science and Technology Maharishi University of Management (Maharishi International University 1971-1995) -------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------- Dr. Gregory Guthrie [EMAIL PROTECTED] (515)472-1125 Fax: -1103 Computer Science Department College of Science and Technology Maharishi University of Management (Maharishi International University 1971-1995) -------------------------------------------------------- -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
