this isn't working, but poking around in that file, i noticed that i set my driver to "svga" and i'm not at all sure if this is right -- in fact, i'm kind of sure it's wrong -- but i *do* remember choosing it in the dselect menu somewhere along the way. now i'm not sure how to change it, since running dselect config generates the same errors as to perl locales (LANG, LC, LANGUAGE) that i was previously getting. but i think if i put the right thing here, X will stop being huge. > | > > PrintMotd no > | > > PrintLastLog no > | > > | > commented out. didn't do anything. > > You want those line not commented out. right, i did, i meant, "UNcommented out. didn't do anything" -- which was, of course, because i hadn't restarted it. fixed now; thanks. </nori> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>-------------------------------------------------- -------------------------http://www.sccs.swarthmore.edu/~nori/jnl/daily.html
