HELP: strange things happens with X....
Hello,
i still have the very annoying problem that xdm fires up by default on my
machine but still does not accept any input from the keyboard, in fact it is as
if the keyboard was suppressed: impossible to get back to a console....
i have to log into the machine from another one and kill the xdm by hand...
starting x by hand was since now without any problem, but now i am experiencing
very strange things:
The display reformats itself in function of the applications that are opened:
without any application the display is full screen, as soon as i open an xterm
the picture becomes taller and less widen, for every xterm i open the display
gets less widen and taller.....
The effect is reverse when i kill the terms..... never experienced this
before....
so anyone with a hint on what may go wrong???
i am using a PPro200 with a Matrox millenium card and a debian woody system....
X server is SVGA and the monitor a ADI microscan which worked fine since now....
