Oh yes, the changing of the XF86Config-4 setting worked. Thanks. I'm not too clear about the installing of SMP manually. Well, quite frankly, I just don't know enough about it. Without making you write an entire instruction manual, are there some steps I sould be aware of if I was to try and help my co-worker install Compact 2.3 on his system? Thanks for the help. WindowMaker looks much better now. :o) David. - ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Thu, 14 Oct 2004 11:02:33 +0300 From: Michael Shigorin <mike@osdn.org.ua> Subject: Re: [Comm-en] WindowMaker Resolutions and Dual Processor compat.

Theoretically yes (it has SMP kernel) but practically I've seen problems like you had to install SMP kernel and module packages manually. *sigh* since it's obviously a bug. > Any advice would be appreciated. Regarding colours, you can try to modify the aforementioned setting and restart X (sorry for being so config-oriented, I'm just too dumb regarding the rest of the tools that's available and when I know the config, it's more reliable to work out an "edit this"-like advice rather than figuring out what's working and what's broken). - -- ---- WBR, Michael Shigorin <mike@altlinux.ru> ------ Linux.Kiev http://www.linux.kiev.ua/ - ------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Community-en mailing list Community-en@altlinux.org https://lists.altlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/community-en End of Community-en Digest, Vol 17, Issue 2 ******************************************* - ------------------------------------------------------- - -- ============================================ (o_ //\ \/_/ E-mail powered by Linux ============================================ ====== -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFBcDsOPBHFNfWeenoRAnm6AJ9Mil+mPihXKm49nLRog9aMnPKU3QCdEigz b7JfNuiKyXYbz3tDKJZKa4k= =XFjW -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
