Re: screen fonts -- LCD and Analog Connections ...

Some are very good at taking the timings of VESA standards. But some support some eccentric Windows timings that are _not_ the exact same as VESA. Or maybe you have configured your monitor for X with bandwidths that exceed the typical VESA modelines. E.g., did you upgrade from a CRT and just leave your X configuration intact? If so, then you might be sending 70, 72, 75 or 85Hz modes for 1024x768. And even though your LCD might support that analog signaling, it's not as ideal as using the VESA standard modes (typically 60Hz for 1024x768 on a LCD). You need to open up your LCD user's manual, find the resolution you want, and input the _exact_ 1) Bandwidth 2) Horizonal Sync and 3) Vertical Sync for that mode into a modeline calculator. Then put those modelines into your XF86Config/xorg.conf. Otherwise, at 1024x768, you're going to see a lot of the distortions. It has nothing to do with fonts. Ideally you should be using DVI and not an analog connector. That removes the problem entirely. -- Bryan J. Smith mailto:b.j.smith@ieee.org

Re: X-Windows on... Windows
by James B. Byrne 17 Jun '05

Thank you all for the advice. I had cygwin installed many years ago but that machine has gone the way of all silicon. While not terribly involved it seems overkill for the present need, which is just to run a single x-windowed application on a very occassional basis. I will look into the rest of the proposed solutions this weekend. Regards, Jim -- *** e-mail is not a secure channel *** mailto:byrnejb.<token>@harte-lyne.ca James B.

To get it to persist across boots (and to not have to enter it by hand every time), you need to insert the command into the boot sequence. You can add this line to /etc/rc.local or add a script to /etc/init.d and have it run in appropriate run levels (probably all, so 12345).

X-Windows client for MS-Win2K
by James B. Byrne 17 Jun '05

17 Jun '05

An intermittent need to connect to a CentOS4 development box from a MS-Win2K workstation using X-Windows has developed here. However, I cannot seem to find a cheap (read free) X-windows client for MS- Windows to accommodate this. This seems very odd to me, displaying no doubt my profound ignorance of the issues involved. The few shareware versions that I have located expect registration fees in the $90-100 range, which is something I have never encountered before. Is there a free X-Windows client for Microsoft OS's? Why is this software so rare and dear? Regards, Jim -- *** e-mail is not a secure channel *** mailto:byrnejb.<token>@harte-lyne.ca James B.

OpenSSL on CentOS 3.4?
by Peter Loron 17 Jun '05

17 Jun '05

I'm running a CentOS 3.4 box. According to yum, the OpenSSL 0.9.7a-33.15 package I have installed is the latest available. A check of the OpenSSL website shows 0.9.7g source being the latest. Is the CentOS 0.9.7a package patched to cover the same isues that the generic 0.9.7 source covers? If not, what's my recourse? Build it by hand? If I need to build it, has anybody crossed that bridge? Thanks. -Pete
