X-Newsreader: Trumpet for Windows [Version 1.0 Rev B final beta #4]
Just a quick note...I've already received several responses to my X-Windows
Questions (though another has popped up :) so there is no need to respond to
those anymore. I will try the advice I've received so far on PPP as soon as I
get a chance to test it.
The X-Windows question I have now is, why with my PS/2 mouse set up to use the
PS/2 protocol on /dev/psm0 do I not get the control menus that let me set font
size, etc? I tried all of the shift, control, and all buttons combined with
the button clicks and none of them work since I went to 2.0.5 and the version
of XFree86 that comes with it.
The answers to my questions were (in case anyone else is interested):
the Virtual setting in /etc/XF86config (this was not found because I used
find /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 -name * -exec grep -i size {};
and the file I needed was in /etc - a new change I hadn't noticed yet :)
The other one (csh) was because of a setenv SHELL /bin/csh line in my .login
file (as was automatically added by the system when I set up that user).
Although I've not had a chance to try this one yet, it sounds like that was
the problem based on several responses.
Thanks all.
