Freebies - Back again, still thrashing. Naturally the usual hangups for a new installation are X-windows and networking, then printing. Networking is fine, and I don't plan to hang a printer on this box. That leaves &*^%!! X-windows.

The X11 display is badly formed in two ways: 1) It looks as though horizontal sync is not solid, because I see two overlaid images on the screen, so the letter "I" looks like: "II", and 2) The cursor on the screen is displaced from its "logical" position, so that buttons are highlighted when the cursor moves to some point far from where the button appears on the screen (and "click" there brings on the appropriate response). > Any ideas what's happening? Yes, well ... any ideas? John Mills john.m.mills@alum.mit.edu
