Thanks all for you reply's. As none of the things I tryed after your messages works and as some of you say it is compiled in Xfree. This is really sad.
I made the transition to linux 2 years ago an I almost never touch any windows boxes anymore since one of the things I really like about linux is that you can configure most thing the way you like. After 2 years configuring, this xfree thing is the only thing I really dislike. Since I am not a programmer, just a plain user I think I can't patch the xfree sources. To bad, thanks anyway Bastiaan On Thursday 26 September 2002 17:26, David Pashley wrote: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > On Thursday 26 September 2002 10:57 am, Bastiaan Naber wrote: > > Every time I start my computer I am anoyed with this problem but > > have not been able to get rid of it.
