Post by Golco » Fri, 02 Apr 1999 04:00:00



I have an amd K6, 64 meg swap and the rest of 1 gig HD. 32 meg ram, AOpen
4meg video (agp) and a monitor that prob was on a 386 (IBM is all it says).

Loading and installing the os was the easy part, but I keep getting and
error when tring to launch XFree86 (Caught signal 11) and it points to the
video card....any suggestions? I need the XFree86 for netscape and mirc.

my first thought would be to run XF86Setup and find out if it will bring up
the basic server.  You also need to know the refresh rates for your monitor to
get X working.  I went to Dell's website to find mine as I don't have a manual
for the monitor (I have a Dell monitor)

1. Am I alone?

Hi, I posted on comp.os.linux.setup and comp.os.linux.x seeking answers
for adjusting printing font size under netscape for linux. But it
appeared that not many people are having this problem - no reply yet:).
I installed Linux two years ago, but never  used it regularly, since my
P133 never worked as well under Linux as under win95. I guess I need to
spend more time on Linux to make it work more smoothly. Anyway here is
my problem.

My P133 is running the Slackware 3.2 and everything is working fine,
except that I could not adjusting the printing font size in netscape.
View font and size can be adjusted but printing font and size does not
change accordingly. I have ghostscript 5.01 installed and use aps4.91
printing filter with printer driver for cdj550. My printer is HP855C.

I really want to know if anyone has successful experience with changing
printing font and size in netscape communicator pre-release 6 for Linux.
Thanks in advance

Shawn
