Right click anywhere on canvas of the image window (not the tools window,

It's so easy, and yet it took me a while to find it, too.  ;-)

RE: [newbie] Open Universe and nVidia drivers - FIXED

2002-05-01 Thread Mcleod, Ian

Good to hear.  I sometimes edit text files as non-root and did not pay
attention to the warning message - hence the file remained unchanged
although I swear I changed it.

It sounds like you had already changed it though?

Do you know how to get Open Universe to work in normal time?  It always
warps on me and I can't get it to go real time.

Please let me know how you go.  I had it going some time ago but can't get
it going now.

Check your X server and other system logs as it starts up.  It could just be
a GL library or something that requires a link to the location that Open
Universe is looking in.

Any suggestions on how to efficiently cope with the volume of linux-mandrake

mail?  I just signed up to the newbie and expert mail lists and I am 
overwhelmed by the volume of email. 

I created a new folder named linux and set the post address as 
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" thinking that perhaps that would cause new 
incoming mail to go to that folder instead of cluttering up my inbox, but 
that doesn't work.

RE: [newbie] Eterm configuration Question.

2002-04-30 Thread Mcleod, Ian

I think you can try starting Eterm with various flags - like 'Eterm -t
 and create your own .MAIN file for your own theme
cloned from another file - or just try another theme full stop.

The themes should be under /usr/X1186/share/Eterm/themes or something like
that.

Apologies for the emails lately, been finding weirdness & Stuff more
today.

I've looked in /usr/docs But I can't find an answer to this & the help
file for Eterm was both confusing & didn't answer it either.

I seem to be unable to save a setting in it.

IE, I want the "alien spheres" background.  I set it, hit "save
settings" & then exit.  I return its back to beinga  transparent Eterm.

I know this is stupidly obvious... so... care to hit me over the head
with the answer someone?

No, but looking through it, all it does is exactly what I was doing
anyway - it just includes the download, rpm install and adds the two
required strings into the XF86 config file.

Thanks anyway.  Much appreciated.
