To all and David,
I tried fwin to no avail; the buffer is still empty when pressing the
Alt/PrintScreen key combination, which is was borne out by examining the
xwindows and kde desktop hot keys were I saw no conflicts. Any more takers?
Thanks,
Al

No. Sorry.

OK.
XFree4.0.2 exposed some problems in Win4Lin at least on
some systems. There will be an update to address those problems,
but for now here is the new fwin script that will be in that update.
To make sure you have downloaded it properly, the command
"sum -r fwin" should return:
19526 5
Let us know if it fixes the problem.

The X window manager might be eating that key sequence.
When you start a session with "fwin", does it still not work?
In a "fwin" session there is no X window manager so more key
combinations (such as alt-tab) are handled by Windows instead
of the X window manager. If this is the case, then perhaps
you can try configuring your X window manager to let those
keystrokes thru, or use fwin.

Subject: [Win4Lin-users] Windows blacking out in X 4.0.2
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I recently installed X 4.0.2 and have the backingstore option
configured. I don't get any blacking out of the Windows 98 window when
switching between X applications, but if I switch to a text console and
back to X, it does black out (other X applications do not). Is there a
workaround for this?

Subject: [Win4Lin-users] Error in upgrading to Win4Lin 2.0.2
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I just tried to upgrade from Win4Lin 2.0.1 to 2.0.2. I did the
following steps (this is a Debian system):
1. Copy /var/win4lin/install/license.txt.
2. Remove win4lin with 'dpkg -r'.
3. Convert Win4Lin-5.1.1f-1.i386.rpm to .deb with alien (creates
win4lin_5.1.1f-2_i386.deb).
4. Install win4lin_5.1.1f-2_i386.deb with 'dpkg -i'.
5. Run /opt/win4lin/postinst_rpm.sh.
6. Copy license.txt to /opt/win4lin/install.
All of the above completed without incident. However, when I try to
run win4lin, I get an error:
NOT_R_ERR: dos: ERROR: Unable to open file
/var/win4lin/image/std/vga/vga.img'. File does not exist or is not
readable by you.
Indeed this file does not exist. I don't recall having this problem
with previous versions, but it has been a while.
What did I miss?

Subject: [Win4Lin-users] Version numbering
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
When I bring up Help/Version (via Shift-F12 from the Win4Lin
screen), I see that the version number is 5.1.1. How does
that correspond to 2.0.1/2.0.2, etc?
