Subject: Lyx 1.3.7 and WinME: strange problem
Hi all,
I tried to run Lyx with -dbg 8 and it reports a 88x106 window, which is
rather small, indeed. Then I tried to run with -geometry 800x600+20+20,
but the result was the same.
The LyX Wiki says that this LyX version runs on Win98. Then I supposed >
that with WinME it would be no problem.
Is anybody else getting this? Am I missing anything?
Thanks,
Persio
I suppose this was tested with Win98se or perhaps a
different screen resolution than you are using. Under
Control Panel I think there is an icon called Display
where you can change your screen resolution, but
possible settings depend on your video card (driver).
Try changing from 640 x 480; 800 x 600; 1024 x 768
Try changing to 640 x 480 first. Maybe this will be
too inconvenient, try 800x600...I'm trying to figure a
workaround to compensate for what is probably a qt
issue. A ways back, I've experienced this type of
problem in ports to Windows which are compiled at
a different screen resolution than what I used.
Good luck,
Stephen
Thanks for your suggestion
Tried both 640x480 and 800x600 (the original setting was 1024x768). The
results are exactly the same. Lyx opens in a 88x106 window which can't be
resized.
I forgot to say that I tried to install the 1.3.6 version, some time ago but
it didn't work either (that version reportedly didn't work wis win98). But I
uninstalled it before installing the 1.3.7 version. May be some old DLL
wasn't removed? How can I know what DLLs are being loaded?
