Speaking of olvwm, I've experienced occasional freezeups when I resize a window
to the full size of the screen. This doesn't always happen, but when it does
the only thing I can do is reboot. I was wondering if anyone else has had
this problem? I'm using xfree1.2 with SLS current as of 18 MAR 93 with my
0.99pl6 kernel recompiled with Auto Detect IRQ. I also have 8MB ram, 16MB
swap, and 1 MB vram, and use video mode 1152x910 on a GATEWAY-2000
486DX2-66V. The problem is not reproducable on demand, but has happened
several times, once when I had meminfo running so I could see I was not
out of memory.
Also, I'm still trying to read the documentation. I finially got desperate
enough to try ghostview with half of each page in a different virtual screen,
but I found that the *.ps files contain the pages in reverse order and ghost-
view won't let me step through them backwards. Any tips on how to change the
fontsize in these files to something printable would be appreciated. At this
point I don't care if it looks pretty, just if it is readable with 360dpi
resolution. (Unfortunately my work printer doesn't have adiquate resolution
either...)
