Perhaps this is the message you saw: :1 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X vt8 -bpp 16 :1.0 :0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X vt7 This starts up 2 xdms, one at 16bpp and the other at 256 colors. The vt7 and vt8 are important -- without them, the 2 xdm's fight with each other when they are starting up and do weird things to my video card. -- #!/usr/bin/perl -pi_______Syntax:_sig.pl_<location-of-netscape-program>_______ BEGIN{if(!$ARGV[0]){$^I=~y/_/ /;print"$^I\n";exit}$^I='.bak'}# Joey Hess s/\bnoframes\b/noFrames/g;s/\bframeset\b/frameSet/g# [EMAIL PROTECTED] #Remove frames from Netscape forever! <http://kite.ml.org/~joey/framefree.cgi> -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
