Two things,
First: What X programs do others use for wordprocessing and the like? (I'm
hoping someone will say something other than VI, and not TeX, perhaps some
other suggestions?)
Second: (pretty trivial, but anyhow) I was trying to compile xhextris from
the contrib area of X11 ftp areas, well, it compiles fine, but (always a but
isnt there :) I get this error -
# xhex
Welcome, root...
X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
Major opcode of failed request: 51 (X_SetFontPath)
Value in failed request: 0x2
Serial number of failed request: 4
Current serial number in output stream: 5
#
Thats all the program reports as it exists, i was told that maybe using xset
to set the 'fp' to the default would work, but.. I dont have xset. So Two
questions, anyone else get Xhextris working, and does anyone have xset?
(I have seen neither mentioned for Linux X11)
Thanks.
