xdvi weird stuff

[David Purton <dcpurton@smug.adelaide.edu.au>]

Hi,

While using slink, I found that xdvi didn't display lines (table lines or
lines in maths functions such as fractions). The dvi files printed fine with
dvi2ps, just the display was up the creek.  I got round the problem by using a
different dvi viewer (dvilx).

I recently rebuilt a system from scratch to run potatoe by first installing a
base slink system from cd then running apt-get dist-upgrade and then
installing the rest of the software using dselect and apt sources.

I had hopped that this would fix my problem, since a friend's machine worked
fine with potatoe, but the same problem seems to exist.

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

to rush down again.  In a way this is funny,...
