Re: Re[2]: ATI Rage Mobility-P AGP2X take two
Umm, i think you are refering to wmaker, it works under gnome and has a
clip in the upperleft and 3 icons on the upperright when first run in
debian. They aren't halfbad (using this myself), so i think you are
running in some low resolution and color depth. maybe you could take a
look in /var/log/XFree-something-log for hints of your display not being
able to handle different resolutions. Try to edit /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
and make some of the higher res. work (like 800x600 or 1024x768)
You might want to have gdm or something starting X up, more easy to
choose different window managers. And if all my "advice" doesn't help,
you may want to post parts of the log and XF86Config-4 here so we can
have a better look.
Good luck, and we'll get there yet :)
