- Gidday all,
-
- I recently got XFree 1.1 and installed it, but have a few questions on
- "fine tuning" it. After the installation, I noticed that it placed all
- it's man pages in /usr/X386/man, etc. I assume normal "man" wouldn't be
- able to find it. So, I ran X and tried "xman". In the directory, all the
- xcommands were there, but the minute I clicked on a (actually *ANY*) X
- related command, it reformats the page and displays NOTHING!! It appears
- that "xman" can't find the /usr/X386/man directory. Anyone has any
- suggestions??
-
- Another minor problem...I run X in colour. How do I change the
- background or "desktop" (as MS-Win would put it) to a colour of my
- choice. At the moment, it's sorta grey - the same as X386mono, with the
- exception of the coloured borders of "login", "xterm", and "xclock".
-
- Thanks in advance...
