Re: text converted into bar codes - tough reading !!
Ian, to let you know, I got an another advice which was to add in the
section Device of my /etc/X11/XF86Config file the following: Option
"NoAccel" and this worked!! It seems to be related to the xserver not
properly managing the accelerated fonts for my old video card..
Thanks very much for your assistance! Serge
