KMail/1.4.3 |
Hello All
A proper report (detailed) will follow (that's two owed, now!)
On a second pentium I @ 120 with 32MB fluxbox and Xvesa start almost
instantly! kmail and kppp work, but of course are much slower.
More interesting to me was the S3 vision 968 graphics card (2MB) works so
well. XFree86 4.2.0 did not support the card (though possibly 4.2.1 does (not
tried it yet.)
It seems to need every package that Michael put on the XFree86 packages (disk
1 & 2) for slinky. Added fluxbox and simply placed Xvesa in the same
directory where XFree86 goes, i.e. /usr/X11R6/bin/ renamed the link X to
X.ori (so I could have it back and also could copy the modes X and XFree86.
Didn't know about s (always the newbie, that's me) but learned that chmod 711
Xvesa followed by chmod u+s Xvesa does the trick. Thanks to Michael's example
startx file I saw that defaultserverargs="-screen 800x600x24 -2button" edited
into the existing startx file works. (I suspect, however, that other bits
need tidying-up in this startx file, because there are a lot of complaints
that are revealed after exiting Xvesa. Also created the file .xinitrc with
kmail &
exec fluxbox
works for me but kppp wants the root password. What is the syntax for .xinitrc
to add kppp to the list of apps to start-up with?
