Re: [PLUG] X on a Sparc 32


I think either:
a.) It has to do with the amount of memory in the frame-buffer vs. what X
is using.  Some frame-buffers can't change res, so if you use less/more
memory, strange results will occure.

b.) Subscribe the the sparc-mailing list (There are helpful people on
there).  I have some sparc equipment, but not a 20, and I don't routinely
run X on any of it.  (Except the Javastation)
