Hi all,
I have been trying to make xserver-svga_3.2 to work on my system with no
luck. When I do 'startx' I get blank screen. I can change to other
console and do ps -a and it shows that X is running. But I cannot see
anything. I am using old XF86Config script which worked for me with
xserver-svga

Ahh, right. Sorry about that ... I assumed a Mime-compliant mailer on
the other end such as Pine which can handle this format. But any Base64
decoder should do the trick. I think metamail provides one, but haven't

hello all ...
I would like my xdm startup to start in 1024x768 resolution. How can
this done - can it be done? I don't see any parameters in the

Also - on machines without xdm can I configure the startx process
to start up
I had no idea how enthusiastic a following the Spam Filter has.
I think I have a large enough sample now.

Well, I fixed the problem, but I still don't understand it.
First, it has nothing to do with the kernels (whew).
At the same time I was building the new 2.0.27 kernel, I was experimenting
with setting up ppp over a nul modem cable (with little luck, I might
add). After giving up on the ppp issue, I

I do not think that this is a bugfix but it is work around. The problem is
that gcc and g77 are maintained by different people.
This leads to these probnlems when you do update gcc but the
