Re: Large window causes monitor to degauss/reset!!
Jacob Rhoden wrote: Hey, I have been using freebsd for quite some time now, I have come across a machine with a 19" viewmaster, whereby if you open a window bigger than about 500x500 pixels, the monitor resets and degausses every 8 seconds until you close the window. Has anyone had this happen to them? And how did you fix it? (Freebsd 5.2.1, fairly current XFree86 with fairly current KDE). Thanks, Jacob hmm... may be it's something to do with your XF86Config, can you show us what you have there? Usually when you run "startx" it should print the path to XF86Config file it reads. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Re: X11 fonts
Patrick Useldinger wrote: Hi all, a newbie question: I have just installed X11 (Xfree86 4.3), KDE (3.2.2) and Firebird (0.8), and surfing works very well. Compared to my Windows machine however, I think that the fonts look less appealing to what I am used to. So I need a pointer - is this due to 1) the video driver? the card is an ATI Radeon 7500, and I configured the driver 'radeon' which should be correct. 2) the X11 fonts? which one 'look best'? 3) KDE - how can I make it to use the nicer fonts? 4) Firebird? Regards, You may need to setup fonts to be anti-alised on your XFree86 configuration, below is a small how to. If you still have ugly fonts, get back to us and we'll se what's wrong. http://www.huckstep.uklinux.net/mle/fonts.html ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
termcap vs terminfo
I've noticed that the base system does not have terminfo, but instead comes with termcap. Apparently BSD always had termcap and System V had terminfo. I don't want to start a religious war as to which one is better, but only want to ask if anyone has experienced problems when porting ncurses applications from BSD to System V and vice versa, and what could be done to minimise such problems.
