Configuring X on an IBM ThinkPad

Encountered a problem configuring the X server using sax. Sax is unable to use the entire display (1024/768) and is only restricted to a small 640x480 area in the middle of the display. Only the top left 640x480 of the sax window are visible and the rest, clipped, rendering the controls in the window inaccessable. Is there anyway to make sax usable in 640x480 mode or get linux to use the entire display (currently, even the shell operates restricted to the 640x480 area in the middle)?? Can anyone help me here? Many thanks in advance. Abhishikt

jpg files won't display using kde2's image viewer app

I've checked to be sure all jpg libraries and the JPEG sotware group software is installed, along with librle. Gimp shows jpg's ok, as does XV. Are KDE2 rpms from the SuSE ftp site defective? Jerry -- Scientific theories, according to Sir Karl Popper, can be "falsified," or proven wrong, by experiment. Unscientific theories -Marxist dialectical history and Freudian psychology were Popper's favorites-are formed in such a way that they cannot be falsified by data.

These are to help compiling with various modules, but the toolbox advertises itself as an easy to use tool. As far as compiling from the source from Apache.org goes; what exactly is the error message you get when the compile fails? Apache should compile fine unless you need to update some packages first. It likes to install itself to a different directory, but it stays within it's source directory when compiling. Maybe the latest version needs an updated libc?

Konq conks out

Date: Wed, 22 Nov 2000 00:57:10 -0500 From: Corvin Russell <corvinr(a)sympatico.ca> Message-ID: <20001122005710.A2441(a)raven.unknowing.org> Subject: Konq conks out Well it still needs work, Netscape has to hang around. Thus far one of three major sites that I visit (e.g. NY Times) do not display properly, or downright crash it. Konq has crashed and burned in an annoying way several times. I don't recommend playing with it if you are working on something important at the same time. It just caused a long (10 min.) hang before I was able to kill it. When it is ready, it will be a very nice browser, easily competitive with Opera and other comers. I like the KDE2 crash report system. Looks like it will be useful. For stability, 1.1.2 still superior. -- Corvin Russell <corvinr(a)sympatico.ca>

"Signal Out Of Range" during game startup
by dwcasey＠mysun.com 25 Nov '00

From: "Daniel Casey" <dwcasey(a)mysun.com> Message-ID: <4cca547555.475554cca5(a)mysun.com> Date: Fri, 24 Nov 2000 22:57:00 -0600 Subject: "Signal Out Of Range" during game startup I have installed a copy of the Heavy Gear 2 Demo from Maximum Linux. The game starts fine, sound, graphics work (both windowed and full screen). I am able to select a mission to start and after I hit launch, the screen goes blank (it does this in both windowed and full screen) and I get "Signal Out Of Range" floating on my monitor. It also displays 27.0 KHz 33.0 Hz. Which makes sense (sort of) because my monitor, CTX PL9, has a Horizontal range of 30-95KHz and a Vertical of 50-160Hz. So, yes, it is out of range, but why is this game going there? Is it something I'm not setting up in /etc/XF86Config or maybe something specific with the game? TIA, Daniel

Other then the printer, everything else: NIS, NFS, mail, news, etc.. is working fine. Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions of what I may have missed?
