First, with X. I have a Cirrus Logic 5429 based VGA board, but I have to use the no_bitblt option, or I get problems drawing windows. The contents of the window is not correctly aligned with the left hand border - there is the border, a gab of about 8 pixels where you can see through the window, then the contents of the window are drawn. There are no problems with the righhand side of the window. The next problem is with menus. With programs like xpaint, xman etc, I can click on the menu gadget/button, the menu will appear, but I can't select anything. Similarly, I can't select any buttons on ghostview or zircon at all. Finally, I seem to be having problems with SLIP. I can connect to my ISP just fine, I slattach and add a default route, and I can ping other machines on the net just fine. However, the connection is intolerably slow. For instance, if I telnet to the news server at the other end of the wire, I get the connected to message, and then nothing. Windows 95's TCP/IP works fine though, so I must be doing something wrong.
