- Well some wonderful person mailed me [And I unfortunatly deleted your
- message in a mail box purge..] and ftp'ed a new xinit onto here. Now I
- haven't even LOOKED at the source, I just used the binary and it worked fine.
- Whoever your are you are a godsend. Anyone who wants it,
-
- ftp.su.oz.au [I think..? or ftp.ucc.su.oz.au] /tmp/vgaxinit.T.Z
-
- Works fine. The person who did put that there, mail me or post so you
- get the credit you so rightly deserve :)
-
- Also, someone mailed me about using the command:
-
- runx startx
-
- And that restores the text mode properly.
