I'm trying to get a decent terminal setup, but no matter what I do, something goes wrong. Either SLRN won't recognize some keys, or the telnet goes haywire, or trying to set up a 50-line mode freaks out. Here's what I'd like to have: 50-line mode with standard, supported keys that I can telnet with to another server. Part2: I'm running X in 800x600x16 mode (that's what it claims), but the monitor is in 640x480, and I have to use the mouse to scroll the screen. Will this go away with fvwm, or is it a video driver thing (which will change with 3.2)? jason -- Jason Bennett, jbennett@cc.gatech.edu | Member, Team OS/2!
