Subject: Problem with Xfig and Xv
Date: 12 Feb 1993 04:52:57 GMT

I am a newbie!

Here's my problem:
I compiled xfig yesterday, I don't remember which version but it is the
one sitting in sunsite.unc.edu. Anyway I got the xfig executable
I ran it in my X windows and it worked except I can't draw anything
round, e.g. circles, ellipse. When I draw it, I can see the circle and
I can resize it. but as soon as I drop it, the circle became four arcs.
I have no problem with other shapes and text. Overall, it works except
for round stuff. Am I doing something wrong with my video set up?

Very similar stuff for xv 2.2.1 <-- ?
The default xv picture is all scrambled but the menu works and I can load
pictures up but the pictures also appears scrambled.

I definitely think my video setup is slightly wrong.
Here's my setup:

well part of it:

VGA2
  virtual mode 800 600
  .
  .
  chipset generic

here's my monitor setup

clock vertical horizontal
25 640 672 7?? 800 480 490 50? 525

I am running a 25Mhz 386DX with Video7 VGA with 1024i chip

HELP!
