What about having a very small, 'always on top', background-colour,
transparent cursor window in the corner, and (periodically?) set the mouse
coords to it..?

I think the only way to not have to make 'screen shots' is to hang something
off the video-out of the machine to record it high quality - ie, digital video

How about a small wrapper program which can setuid to the currently logged on

Hi Wilson,
Look at the manual page for XF86Config (not xf86config!)
Play with your xf86config.new file, start X with
"startx -- -xf86config ./xf86config.new"
Once you're happy with it, copy it to the config directory:
cp xf86config.new /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
'startx' to check all is well

Hi,
I've had this problem a couple of times on a particular machine, both times
after I'd had to clean it up because /tmp had got full (Don't ask - I work in
a QA lab ;) )
xfs wont stay up when started with the standard -nodaemon -droppriv flags. It
is fine if started and left in foreground.
Looks like it can't connect to your font server. I've had a similar problem
recently myself with xfs not wanting to stay running. This has been after
/tmp gets full, though I clear it out and xfs still wont stay up: Check this
list in case anyone can help, as I posted a question yesterday on t
By Hummingbird, you mean 'Reflections', ie an Xserver on a PC?
Its important to remember that the bit that displays everything, even though
its the remote end that you're sitting at, is the _server_. The machine
hosting the xterm/openoffice/gnome session and sending it to you is the
_client_.

Have you tried googling for the serial number? That can be quite usefull.

I don't think I understand the question...Are you asking if the card works
with win95 or with linux? Which drivers are you talking about? What have you

If you really want to do this, you could probably do something like:
1. Run GPM with "gpm -m /dev/null -R raw"
-GPM will become a repeater, creating a mouse device "/dev/gpmdata", although
not converting the data (='raw')

Hopefully other people can be a lot more help than me, but for the moment you
could try commenting out the refresh rates in the 'screen' section. The

you might be able to see something.

Hello chaps,
Apologies for leaving it so long before following this up - I followed your
advice below, Måns, but unfortunately I couldn't spot anything particularly
wierd in the X or Kernel logs.

It's hard to tell from your screenshot, but it might simply be that your
virtual res is too big for your actual res.
ie, if you've a virtual res of 1200x1024 and a physical res of 800x600, you'll
only get part of the screen at a time.
Does your screen scroll around with the mouse?

You're missing an 'EndSection' directive after the 'FontPath' line (ie, for

If you still want to generate a new one, use 'xf86config' or (better, IMHO) 'X

Your font server isn't running. Start it with '/etc/rc.d/init.d/xfs start'
and try again.
If this doesn't work, check back in the xfree86.org list archives for info on
how to set manual font paths. As you're probably not interested in serving
fonts to other machines, I think you'll find it a l
