Please see my points below.

I've played around with BSD once or twice (back= in version 3 and 4) but never for very long before giving up and moving ba= ck to SuSE. >=20 > However, this time I think i got the bull by the horns! I've migrated all= my stuff from linux to BSD (workstation wise) there's just a couple of out= standing issues. Ie. KDM/GDM needs to work properly, as other people use my= machine for an X server. >=20 > And i am currently still sorting out mailman with postfix. Which was my o= wn fault as to why it's not working. >=20 > However, there are two things that are bugging me. Whenever I leave X, th= e console seems to get darker, eventually I can't see it anymore, and have = to reboot to sort the problem out. I feel this could be video card related = - I have a GeForce 4 MX 420 with the latest NVidia drive. And I have disabl= ed the AGP, ACPI is also disabled otherwise X just hangs. >=20 > So I was wondering if anyone has any clue as to what this might be? >=20 > And second I dunno how many of you use gkrellm in windowmaker but, i can'= t get it to appear on every work space. This I am sure, is a real dumb thin= g on my part because i feel it must be something really simple. >=20 > Other than that however, everything is going great!=20 >=20 > Let me know if this is too technical for a newbie list so that I can put = it on the tech list too if need be. >=20 > Thanks in advance! > --=20 > Riaan Annandale > Engineering: Senior Systems Administrator > Tiscali (PTY) LTD. > INTERNET WITH A PASSION >=20 > 42 Wierda Road West, Wierda Valley, Sandton > Office : 0861 22 55 86 > E-Mail : Riaan.Annandale@za.tiscali.com > http://www.tiscali.co.za/ ----- End forwarded message ----- --=20 Riaan Annandale Engineering: Senior Systems Administrator Tiscali (PTY) LTD. 42 Wierda Road West, Wierda Valley, Sandton Office : +861 22 55 86 E-Mail : riaan.annandale@za.tiscali.com http://www.tiscali.co.za/ Don't feed the bats tonight. --V0207lvV8h4k8FAm Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFCLpvdJRggvz18KpsRAtAjAJ9WTu1Xy3+OvyifH21E16Iyu4eFsACgkd9G folNOXkAI6mY29Yn3pm4Tmk= =r+vG -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --V0207lvV8h4k8FAm--
