- Could you turn off the overscan on the next kernel release? On my
- 1080 monitor I lose not only the top line, but the first column on the
- left and the bottom line. It makes using vi or emacs a nerve wracking
- experience.

- I finished modifying my printcap file when I discovered that there is
- no lpr. lpr is a directory of the lpr source, which won't compile
- because it requires some header files that are not present.
-
- And while you update the binaries, could you upload an executable
- dumpfont? I can't compile it because I only have the 1.3 includes.
