- Two things,
-
- First: What X programs do others use for wordprocessing and the like? (I'm
- hoping someone will say something other than VI, and not TeX, perhaps some
- other suggestions?)
-
- Second: (pretty trivial, but anyhow) I was trying to compile xhextris from
- the contrib area of X11 ftp areas, well, it compiles fine, but (always a but
- isnt there :) I get this error -
-
- # xhex
-
- Welcome, root...
- X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)

- Thats all the program reports as it exists, i was told that maybe using xset
- to set the 'fp' to the default would work, but.. I dont have xset. So Two
- questions, anyone else get Xhextris working, and does anyone have xset?
- (I have seen neither mentioned for Linux X11)
-
- Thanks.
