Bug#440389: Too wide for 800x600

No junior user is ready to modify resources files, while anybody is able to enter 5 command lines that I gave you in the previous mail. What's the point of reporting bugs and then refusing to help debug them? However I'm convinced that the problem is merely that your good intentioned effort to fill in the unbalanced lack of 38a39 #endif Our good intentioned effort comes from upstream, we don't patch Xresources files without a good reason. They broke the resources file in 1.1.6 and fixed it right after. in /etc/X11/xdm/Xresources, ended up being put in too early in the file. Closing the wrong #if. This causes innocent 800 users to end up swallowing a lot of code meant for 800 screens. Test it on a 800x600. It goes off the edge of the screen! Please provide a patch, junior user me is not ready to test/debug xdm in 800x600 mode. And on 800 screens I still have to comment out !xlogin*failFace: Helvetica-18:bold to make the bevel problem go away. Please don't mix multiple bug reports. You already said that in another report, we read it. Thanks, Brice -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I wish to limit my testing role as each time I start X, there's the snap/crackle/pop ... if my mountaintop terminal blows, I must make a two day journey to the city to buy a new one. Also as I use the terminal then the laptop, then the terminal, with a two day gap between each, full testing would take many days. By the way these lines look old: ! $Xorg: Xresources,v 1.3 2000/08/17 19:54:17 cpqbld Exp $ ! $XFree86: xc/programs/xdm/config/Xres.cpp,v 1.6 2003/01/04 03:11:31 dawes Exp $ Any patch from minimalist me would remove all Font settings anyway. Anyway, some of us are better at reporting crime... indeed, a new concept for Debian: anonymous tipster bug reports... Anyway, all these problems are merely cosmetic... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
