 I have another problem. Except the bash shell , I can not let the
 backspace work properly. I don't know how to config it. Could you help me
 out?

Run XF86Setup and use the Xkb extensions.

Thanks.
Actually, I have Diamond permedia 2 graphic card. It is not support by
XF86Config. Is there some way to edit the config file directly.
Thanks

screen and window

1998-10-18 Thread Zheng Wang 
Hi, everybody,
I just installed debian and ran X. The problem I have is that the desktop 
itself is much big than the screen. So if I open a window, this window
perhaps is not visible at all. I have to move my mouse around to find it. 
I tried Ctrl+alt++ (told by Brian). It reduce the font and also the
visible screen size, but the problem remain unsolved. Does anybody have
this kind of problem.

 It's the lines labeled Modes, you just have to re-arrange them to
 start in the resolution you want, if you just want to change
 resolution. If you want to change the actual size of the virtual
 desktop add a line like
 
 Virtual 800 600
 
 just after the ViewPort lines.
