I installed the 950210 bindist, compat1x, secure, and XFree86-3.1.1. I rebooted, just to make sure that all was OK. It was. I made a symlink from X11R6 to X386, then did a tar -xvzf /dev/rfd0 and AcceleratedX was installed fine. I ran setup, chose the default configuration (IBM VGA, 256k, 640x480x16, etc). I ran startx. Everything is OK. I think 'Hey, maybe it's fixed.' I run Xsetup again, choose Number9 I128 w/4MB, same resolution, same color depth (16 colors). I load up X, and things are no longer OK. Before I go into depth with the problems, let me say that I ran this server under 2.0 for a while (about a month) with 0 problems. I have not done one thing to my machine since then. It is _EXACTLY_ the same as it was then. _Something_ that was changed between 2.0 and 950210-SNAP is causing this problem, either directly or indirectly. I will let the XInside people know tomorrow, as well. Using TWM, I notice the following: 1) When moving a window (via click on title bar and drag), if the top of the title bar is moved above y = 0 then things go crazy. See diagram. top, left corner of entire screen | v \ | | | \\ | | | \ \ --|--|---| \ \ | | | \ --|\-|---| \ | |\ | \__________\ it's as if the upper left corner (0,0) grabs the top border of my window and pulls it up there or something. 2) Using Netscape, any pictures (including the animated N and anything that is supposed to be on the html document i'm viewing) are strewn all across the screen (everywhere but in the netscape window.) 3) Periodically (haven't figured out when or why yet) things fail to repaint correctly (can be fixed by switching virtual desktops and coming back.) I am letting you guys know so that you can fix whatever's wrong, or at least tell the people at XInside so they can fix it in the next version (1.2) of their server. Not being able to use a graphical WWW browser at home sucks. (I haven't tried xv, ghostview, or anything like that yet.) My system configuration is as follows: 90mhz Pentium 32mb RAM NCR 53c825 SCSI controller 1gig SCSI drive SCSI CD-ROM Unknown floppy controller Unknown serial/parallel port board Keyboard MS Serial Mouse 2.0 3.5" NEC floppy drive IOMEGA Tape250 If you have _ANY_ questions, I will do all I can to help.
