[S.u.S.E. Linux] X servers and Fonts
by arunkhan＠xnet.com 01 Jul '98

01 Jul '98

Comparing Netscape 4.05 display in Win95/NT and SuSE Linux 5.x I notice that Font sizes appear to be smaller (e.g. The main page of www.pricewatch.com is hardly legible under X) even though I change the settings to 14.0 or 16.0 under Fonts in preferences. I am using 1280x1024 (16bpp) for both Win95 and X and the latest X servers for the Diamond Viper 330 and S3 Virge. The results are similar. Is there any way to set Fonts for the general X environment and also are there any more fonts to go with X besides those installed by SuSE? Any help with this is appreciated.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] PPP Config through YAST
by subb3＠ibm.net 30 Jun '98

30 Jun '98

I am using YAST to configure the Network and PPP. In PPP, I fill out all the information about the connectivity, ISP, nameservers.....and on. After I exit YAST, when I look at /etc/ppp and /etc/suseppp, my userid/password is in /etc/suseppp. Assuming this will work, I tried /etc/suseppp/ppp-up, and it did not work. I even tried to use /etc/ppp/ip-up. I have some of my old working Slackware /etc/ppp scripts. If I copy them over, will it disturb the integrity of the configuration file i.e. rc.config. I am new to SuSE. The manual only talks about YAST configuration. Any pointers appreciated. Thank you.

I didn't set a ramdac and didn't let it probe for one. If you do this I think it will fix your problems when starting X. What monitor do you have? xf86config set up a bunch of extra modes but I just deleted the ones I didn't want. I think I'm running at 1024x768 true color.
