I am getting the following output: /usr/bin/wine.bin Ws92_32.exe ... Wine cannot find the FreeType font library. To enable Wine to use TrueType fonts please install a version of FreeType greater than or equal to 2.0.5. So I checked what version of freetype and it looks ok: snip The application work great from a functionality stand point, It just looks awfull, I am guessing because I don not have the fonts setup right. Try the FAQ or INSTALL for xfstt, the X font server for TrueType. They've got instructions for finding suitable fonts on the www.

Re: [vox-tech] X-win port 177

When using X-Win32, I normally log into the box with PuTTY and then set my DISPLAY variable, then launch whatever app I need, and it pops up on X-Win32. It's real ugly, but it works for quick and dirty apps. -Tom [EMAIL PROTECTED] Once you've done 'xhost +' anyone on the Internet can stealthily log all your keystrokes, read your xterms, etc, it's a can o' worms. NOT RECOMMENDED. Even xhost +$HOSTNAME has its critics. Check out ssh which does 'X forwarding', I haven't tried it personally but I think others on the list have, and like it. Make sure your ssh is up to date, there's been a recent remote exploit.

Maybe it was a problem as shipped, but you did not notice until recently since the uptime has been so high? (blind guess.) Yup. When a problem exists in a system when new (even when it is not discovered until later due to high uptimes) the problem is often one of three items: 1) defect in the board/device (board seems like a highly likely possibility.) 2) incorrect settings to device, or in this case motherboard. (Jumpers mis-set, not configured as they should be, etc.) 3) Settings in the firmware/BIOS Haave not seen these kinds of settings, but maybe... nvram read-only setting (maybe under anti-virus support) Whatever the problem (even if none of the above) having the person who assembled your new replacement board explain why this is happening might be the best solution. They may have it as a known problem and just need to set a jumper they forgot to set in previous replacements. Perhaps they will take pity on you if you explain this problem was not found since you left your machine running for many months and it only comes up when not connected to power. The other suggestions still stand, but I'd persue the vendor. :-/ -ME -BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK- Version: 3.12 GCS/CM$/IT$/LS$/S/O$ !d--(++) !s !a+++(-) C++$() U$(+$) P+$+++ L+++$(++) E W+++$(+) N+ o K w+$+ O-@ M+$ V-$- !PS !PE Y+ !PGP t@-(++) 5+@ X@ R- tv- b++ DI+++ D+ G--@ e+++ h(++)+ r*? z? --END GEEK CODE BLOCK-- decode: http://www.ebb.org/ungeek/ about: http://www.geekcode.com/geek.html ___ vox-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech

I can donate a vibra 16C to the cause.
