I set up 4 3100/15" color systems with 100meg discs last week This week I got my own 300meg/19" monochrome - I am really delighted - as much as when Xwindows came up for the first time on a uVaxII way back in '85 - Some questions to 'the fathers': 1: Will the monochrome (Xmfb) do grey scale? How? We have a greyscale display program on a qdss uVaxII that fails with 'display won't do grey scale' when we try to open the window on the mips display from the uVaxII. I thought since it did color on a color monitor etc. etc. Where did astray I go? 2: Will a color monitor just plug in? - I was given to beleive this is correct by my salesperson. If so - can we display the greyscale on that. (I have a 19" color GPX monitor to use) 3: Using Xdvi to the monochrome the resolution of the fonts is poor compared to the uVaxen (both 19"monitors) - why is that? 4: How can we thankyou? 5: What's next? I love my mips I love my mips I love my mips I love my mips -------------------------------------------------------------------------- A relief fund has been set up by the Association of Chinese Students and Scholars at Yale in coordiation with Dwight Hall at Yale ( a non-profitable student social service organization).
