Try just sitting at the computer and waiting. With your configuration, it could take several minutes. The program should unfreeze then. My hunch is that it's scaling fonts. There is a bug in X11R6 that causes problems like that. You can run the xfs program to fix that problem (if it turns out that is indeed the problem). -- John Goerzen, programmer and owner | Merry Christmas! | Communications Centre, Goessel, KS +-------------------------------------+ Main e-mail: jgoerzen@complete.org | Other e-mail: goerzenj@complete.org | On Tue, 23 Jan 1996 sreid@edmbbs.iceonline.com wrote: > > I'm having a problem with certain X programs.
