- You need the S3 server. This is available at various sites; I got my copy from
- robots.ox.ac.uk (or maybe it was ftp.robots.ac.uk, I can't remember). Once
- you've got that, I will pre-empt some other problems you will have:
-
- 1) Uncompress all your font files
- 2) Run mkfontdir
- 3) Replace your Xconfig fontpath line with that from the supplied Xconfig.mono
-
- This is what I did, and now have X speeding along at 1024x768 in glorious
- technicolour...
