Resent-Date: 6 Apr 1997 07:06:41 - Resent-From: debian-user@lists.debian.org Resent-cc: recipient list not shown:;@cs.purdue.edu Hi all, As the maintainer of xscreensaver, I have a few questions for users and potential users. When xscreensaver is compiled with Motif, it has a few additional capabilities: o It can be set to do locking, either through explicit direction by xscreensaver-command, or automatically after a certain time period (which can be different than the saver timeout). o It can run in 'demo mode', via xscreensaver-command, which displays a dialog box containing all configured saver programs and allows the user to select a mode and run it. I have not yet been able to get this functionality to work with Lesstif, but thanks to CheapBytes, I now have the real thing and can compile with Motif support, so that the above functionality works. So, the question: Would anyone like to see packages compiled with Motif for the extra functionality? If so, would you like to see the Motif package replace or supplement the non-Motif version? Or does no one actually use xscreensaver, and I should just go stuff off and leave y'all alone? :) -Larry -- Larry Daffner| Linux: Unleash the workstation in your PC!

XFree86 Question.
I am having a bit of trouble configuring XFree86 to work with my computer. I have a NEC Ready9618 with an NEC MultiSync XV15+ monitor. The chipset on the video card is an Alliance ProMotion 6422 and it has 1 meg dram. Here's my problem. I can get the display in X to look like everything is not internally hemorraging(sp??), but the second I move the mouse, everything goes. the picture starts breaking up. No matter what I do with it, this wont go away. The only mode I can run in without this hppening is like 640x480 with 16 color mode ithink, maybe it was 256. I was wondering ifanyone knew what was going on, or even better, had the same setup and got everything working so i can get a few tips. joe Joseph Palicke http://www.cs.purdue.edu/homes/palicke
