It sounds to me like operator error. You should have configured the 1740 in enhanced mode with NO IRQ AT ALL if you wanted it to auto configure! You say you'd left it set at 15. >Olvwm now doesn't draw the virtual desktop mini window correctly: the dashed >lines that mark physical screen size are scrambled. Sounds like a bug in XFree86 - are you running a Mach32 card (ATI) by any chance? This is a known one. >I think I read about someone trying to install Open Look 4.0 on Linux - >does this mean there is an Xview release later than 3.2? Not that I'm aware of. If someone finds out differently please let me know - I'd be happy to see "Open Look 4.0" (whatever that might be) on FreeBSD 2.0 if this wasn't just someone with a Sun/AT&T source license. >Last question: how do I install a HP Deskjet 500 so that I can print >ASCII, PS and DVI?
