- Hi Linuxers!
-
- As I am a newbie at the X11 stuff i 've got some questions and also some
- problems.
- Problems first:
- I have installed the X11 v.1.1 package and the X8514-server on Linux 0.97pl1.
- I 've had the same problem with kernels newer than 0.97pl1 as Martin Rex, so
- I decided to stay with pl1 until this problem solved.
- But also another problem comes up when using xman: when scrolling (fast) through
- the man pages there will be sometimes garbage in the window. It seems as if the
- bitblt-routines or the font cache of the 8514-Server is causing the problem.
-
- And I have another problem with my busmouse (the one of my ATI Graphics Ultra
- card). Altough I have applied the busmouse patch to the kernel it doesn't work.
- The busmouse is configured with default settings: IRQ 5 and address 0x23C.
- Any suggestions what I am doing wrong?
-
- So far the problems, now the questions: I'm searching for a good easy-to-use
- word processor under X (ok, TeX is pretty good, but sometimes I wish to have
- wysiwyg and that sort of things :-) ).
- And as I plan to write X programs: I wonder if any toolkits and/or
- documentation exist for X11 to maintain the design of programs.
-
- Any help/comments and suggestions are welcome.
