Pine does not let me double-click but I did go to the site and I signed 
up
both onsite and by email.

I got the colors to 16 bit by adding a section to "Screen" but I think I
need to configure the monitor now to get a higher resolution.  It is not
in the Monitors list in xdoc.tgz.  A 1993 Compaq Model 461.  We also have
a 1991 2E/ADI Microscan which does not work with this video card (S3) in
DOS or Windows at more than 800 resolution but goes to 1280 with a 
Trident
card .  Also not on the list.  I tried using xvidtune to determine the
correct monitor settings:  'can't open display'.  I think even to use
xf86config I would need to know these settings. I cannot find them on the
web.  Frequencies, modelines.  

I tried running xf86config and it messed up the config file and X no
longer works.I made some guesses and will put back the original file now
and try to get the accel section reconstructed so the colors at least 
work
in 24 bit again.

We have SuSe 6 set up on another computer and it changes settings for us
automatically when we plug in a different monitor. I will eventually take
the monitor over there and get the settings that way unless you know of
some program I can use to get them with bl2.  

X probeonly could not get any results.

I am getting mail sent directly to keesan2 AT cyberspace.org, such as this
mail.  My mailbox is only 50% full.  It has a 70K limit on each mail
whichis larger than the mail list 40K limit.  But I don't even get copies
of mails I send to the list.

Today we got xpaint working and then imagemagick (which I got to work by
copying over one missing file from an uncompressed .tgz and making a
symlink to i instead of installing the whole package).  Jim wants to edit
photos and 640 res will work but Opera is inconvenient at 640.
