I am in need of dire help. I have set up XWindows and configured my = PPP dialer in FreeBSD 2.2.2, and I just attempted to install Netscape. = I downloaded the gzip file from the netscape FTP site and stored it in = the /usr directory. I then did a=20 gzip -dc "filename" | tar -xvf - which extracted the files. According to the Netscape site, I was then = supposed to type ./nl-install, but I could not find a "nl" file! So, at = this point, I was stuck. I did not know what to do, so I start XWindows = and started the "netscape" executable file. It opened fine, but there = were some errors when Netscape ran. For one, everytime I pressed the = backspace key, it would do a space forward instead of backwards. = Everytime I open up a new window or go to a new site, an error dialog = box titled "Netscape: subprocess diagnostic (stdout/stderr)" would come = up, with the following body: Warning: translation table syntax error: Unknown keysym name: = osfActivate Warning: ... found while parsing = '<key>osfActivate:BullentinBoardReturn()' Warning: translation table syntax error: Unknown keysym name: = osfCancel Warning: ... found while parsing = '<key>osfCancel:BullentinBoardReturn()' . . . = =20 "etc." <<stderr diagnostics have been truncated>> Any ideas as to how to fix this problem? Please help me - I would = appreciate it. Also, my XWindows resolution is way too big, which makes the fonts way = too small, and the mouse takes forever to move. Any ideas how to lower = the resolution to fix this problem? =20 =20 ------=_NextPart_000_001A_01BD1AEB.F38D4380 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD W3 HTML//EN"> <HTML> <HEAD> <META content=3Dtext/html;charset=3Diso-8859-1 = http-equiv=3DContent-Type> <META content=3D'"MSHTML 4.71.1712.3"' name=3DGENERATOR> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=3D#ffffff> <DIV><FONT color=3D#000000 size=3D2>Hello, everybody.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT color=3D#000000 size=3D2> I am in need of = dire=20 help.
