Can anyone Else Report success with "xset bc".. Here is my information BTW (answering Terry's questions): I've tried three different versions of -current [about 3 weeks worth] Have tried fvwm, twm, and no wm Have tried XF86_S3 and XF86_VGA (3.1.2) Have tried no X background, and xsetroot -solid gray14 Have a Actix GE32 w/ 1Meg Sujal ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Sun, 31 Mar 1996 16:42:38 -0600 From: Tony Kimball <alk@Think.COM> To: smpatel@wam.umd.edu Subject: netscape3 Alright folks... After getting a working trace of the way netscape was running, I've figured out that they are sending an illegal request to our Xserver. This causes netscapes forked Java process to exit aburptly. Why this only happens to some of us is still a mystery, but the solution is simple: Type "xset bc" before you start netscape. No go on XF86_S3 3.1.2B 8bpp Diamond Stealth32 PCI 2MB DRAM.
