i am loath to spend any more time w/x-windows. i have spent more time trying get it going than i have w/learning unix - which is the point of all this for me. i need the simplest x-windows setup i can get. problem is i can't find a STEP BY STEP explaination on how to configure it - do i ahve to read another orielly book to get anything going?. it seems like i am just continually scoping books, searching Linux sites/howtos, groping for questions on the web, and i'm not getting anywhere. all my windowsmaker questions where deflected at their mail list - saying they were all xfree86 issues not windowmaker questions. 1st thing is i can not adjust my monitor anymore w/the hardware adjustments on the front panel of the monitor - i get an err mess saying i can not adjust the timing. this never happened w/nt. why would i be locked out from my own monitors adjustments? xvidtune is not doing squat to help me configure the dimentions - there is a problem w/my desktop scrolling off the screen completely when i drag windows to the screen edge. xvidtune has no effect on this. w/windowsmaker there is a strange opague border around the steelblue WM desktop. what the heck is it? it's only visible when using WM - but they say it's an x86 issue. so i think i'm going to uninstall the whole bag and rethink this - i have a powerful OS in my box and i'm am getting sidetracked w/less important stuff. i wouldn't mind a stable console window,,,, To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
