Re: How to change the X server resolution?
Hmm, I've never tried to change the default fonts. 1) How can I tell which is the framebuffer on my IPX? As far as I know, it could be either a CG3 (unaccelerated) or a CG6 (accelerated). But I have no more information. You could try: cat /proc/fb 2) Installing Xsun24 instead of Xsun could improve the server response and/or reliability? I believe the CG6 and CG3 are both 8 bit frame buffers. I know the CG6 is. You cannot use Xsun24 with an 8 bit fb. Eric

1) How can I tell which is the framebuffer on my IPX? As far as I know, it could be either a CG3 (unaccelerated) or a CG6 (accelerated). But I have no more information. You could try: cat /proc/fb This does not exist, while cat /proc/openprom/fb gives: ffec17a4. The plot thickens... :-) 2) Installing Xsun24 instead of Xsun could improve the server response and/or reliability? I believe the CG6 and CG3 are both 8 bit frame buffers. I know the CG6 is. You cannot use Xsun24 with an 8 bit fb. Well, the Xsun manpage states that Xsun24 supports the 8-bit framebuffers that Xsun supports. My question is whether the Xsun24 support is better than that of the plain Xsun server. Greets Sabino

cat /proc/fb This does not exist, while cat /proc/openprom/fb gives: ffec17a4. The plot thickens... :-) Strange. What kernel are you running? It's there for me: nupc36% cat /proc/fb 0 CGsix nupc36% uname -a Linux nupc36 2.2.12 #2 Tue Oct 12 19:31:44 JST 1999 sparc64 unknown It also appears on boot up: nupc36% dmesg | grep ^fb fb0: cgsix at 2000 TEC Rev 4 CPU sparc Rev b [TurboGX] Eric

I have also tried to add check your xfontpath -- make sure that 100dpi fonts are listed before 75dpi ones. Otherwise apps will find the 75dpi ones if they don't specify which group to select from. My fonts in netscape got a lot bigger when i did that :) I have two further related questions: 1) How can I tell which is the framebuffer on my IPX? As far as I know, it could be either a CG3 (unaccelerated) or a CG6 (accelerated). But I have no more information. dunsinane:~$ cat /proc/fb 0 CGsix that works for me too...make sure your kernel is up to date (i'm 2.2.14).
