First off you need to set your Groupwise client to word-wrap. Many of
us are using clients which don't wrap incoming messages very well.
The "standard" is 70-75 characters per line. :-)
Second, what video card do you have? I'm guessing it's one of the
ones for which you need to add the "noaccel" line in your
/etc/XF86Config file. This typically takes care of that problem. I'd
suggest going and viewing the archives for this list. You can find
the link to the archives at www.linux-mandrake.com
Good luck!
