Statux,
I'm not going to chew your head off. All I was asking for is just
something new to try. I want to learn this, it's just that after several
long nights, I get ticked off (at myself a little;-) Thanks for the
input. I read my XF86Config file and wrote down all the vital
information. I tried to install the RPM XFree86-xfs.3.3.3.1-49, but I got
an error message: cannot open file............ I read the man pages and
now I'm trying to locate my font directories. Thanks again,
Michael
