Another problem I have is with xterm. There's about a 25% chance that it
won't open. Sometimes an error message is printed on the Vconsole that
opened X (usually something about being unable to find a font, but
sometimes not). At this point, trying again always fails... Again, this
is with 1.3.x only, it never happened with 1.2.x. One possible cause is
a badly setup /etc/termcap, which hasn't been fully updated with the
console/linux switch thing that happened in 1.3. Still, this is unlikey,
given that xterm would not be using either of these terminal types, but
it was all I could think of... :(
====================
My system:
Pentium 90Mhz
16Mb RAM
8Mb Swap (sometimes - usually don't need it much on a singe user system)
PCI IDE Hard Drive - Expains why system is so slow when disk is on...
Working Config:
Linux 1.2.10 (aout) compiled with gcc 2.5.8
UMSDOS filesystem
XFree 3.1.1 (aout) w/ mach64 accel. server
Netscape 1.1N (aout)
Unhappy Config:
Linux 1.3.11 (ELF) compiled with gcc 2.7.0
UMSDOS filesystem
XFree 3.1.1 (aout) w/ mach64 accel. server
Netscape 1.1N (aout)
=====================
I hope this helps!
