- I installed X that came with SLS and hacked the Xconfig so that it works
- now. I am using a Tseng high color card.
-
- Now everything works except the two problem that I have:
-
- 1. The fonts under 1024x768 mode, it is very small and broken. I mean it
- looks like that lots of pixels are missing, it is very hard to see. Even
- when you use big fonts, the lines are thin and has missing pixels.
- (everything works fine under 800x600 and 640x480 mode)
-
- Is this related to my setup? Xconfig? card? monitor? or is this the
- font? I am using a cheap SVGA monitor that is interlaced.
-
- 2. I am using Chin Fang's document to determine the Xconfig parameters,
- and it works. But my monitor is interlaced and the document only talks
- about NI mode, is there something special about interlaced mode?
-
- 3. My mouse has 3 button but the middle one (2) doesn't work. How do I
- fix this? without it I can not cut and paste.
-
-
- Thanks in advance for any help. With X running, this is starting to look
- like a great system.
