Two questions: A) I have an ATI VGA WONDER with 512K of ram, and a NEC 3D monitor. I run 386/ix version 2.0.2, plus X Windows v1.1 When I start the X server, in 800x600 mode, and then switch to another VT (eg. the console), I just get a mess - like someone has unplugged the V-Sync wire. Switching back to the X window screen and things clear up. This doesn't happen when I switch modes in DOS. Nor does it happen in normal VGA modes. 1) Does anyone else have this combination, with similar probs? 2) Can anyone suggest a fix? Is it the software, the server, B) My X Server only allows about 7 connections, though I haven't isolated whether this is a limit on number of connections or size of processes. Additionally, I can only open a font with one client - two xfd's with the same font doesn't work. Am I confused, or is this because of file locking of some sort?Neither of these occur on Suns running X11R3. Is there a resource setting that I can increase? I have checked streams resources, and there seem to be enough of these. I have an 8mb 25mhz 386. I am not running any other applications, and I am the only person using the machine. All advice appreciated. jon
