I tried nv driver on slamd64 before. It did not work. Anyway I'll try it on OpenBSD. Is OpenBSD LiveCD available? > You know how to configure X with xorg.conf, right? No problem.

No I can't change the font size on Xfce-4.2. I installed Xfce-4.2 on all OS tested previously. I only need changing the font size on Terminal as well as the URL box on Firefox. They were too tiny to read. I can adjust font sizes on Firefox via preferences except the font size on its URL box. I think maybe I can adjust it via gtk. I did it before but w/o a good recollection. Another problem running Xfce-4.2 is no default text editor. Maybe I have to download mousepad on Internet if I can't find it on repo. Xfce-4.2 has OO installed but it is not convenient to run it for editing text. B.R.
