Sorry, I didn't explain quite clearly. I've been working under win95, using Netscape, IE and the jdk appletviewer to see what my things look like with different browsers - and also with different screen resolutions. I'm new to Debian and got a lot of help from you people to get the jdk on to my Debian partition in the first place. I dont have anything here except the appletviewer to run applets (and >java< for applications), so that's what I'm using. Non-awt applications seem to work okay on the normal text screen (I haven't tested an application with awt components), and applets work fine unless they have to refresh a large part of the screen frequently, when the whole system comes to a standstill (more or less so depending on how much screen redrawing is done. What I was wondering was whether this might indicate something wrong with my whole X configuration. I have quite a small screen and my preferred resolution is 800*600, but I also have it configured for 640*480 and 1024*768 (also with help from my friends out there!). In 1024*768 it (nearly) fills my screen and behaves in a way I'm used to. In the lower resolutions (and I'm getting out of my depth here, this is just how I imagine it to be), it seems to create a virtual window which contains as much information as the high-res mode would do, but you have to pan around to see it all. It works beautifully, but it creates the problem that an applet that asks for the screen size in order to adapt its own drawing always gets the answer 1024*768. This is a different point from my original question but both may arise from faulty configuration of X. Any ideas? TIA David
