[RULE] kdrive-psyche-slinkyv0.3.5

[Richard Kweskin]

Hello All

A proper report (detailed) will follow (that's two owed, now!)

On a second pentium I @ 120 with 32MB fluxbox and Xvesa start almost 
instantly! kmail and kppp work, but of course are much slower.

More interesting to me was the S3 vision 968 graphics card (2MB) works so 
well. XFree86 4.2.0 did not support the card (though possibly 4.2.1 does (not 
tried it yet.)

It seems to need every package that Michael put on the XFree86 packages (disk 
1 & 2) for slinky. Added fluxbox and simply placed Xvesa in the same 
directory where XFree86 goes, i.e. /usr/X11R6/bin/ renamed the link X to 
X.ori (so I could have it back and also could copy the modes X and XFree86. 
Didn't know about s (always the newbie, that's me) but learned that chmod 711 
Xvesa followed by chmod u+s Xvesa does the trick. Thanks to Michael's example 
startx file I saw that defaultserverargs="-screen 800x600x24 -2button" edited 
into the existing startx file works. (I suspect, however, that other bits 
need tidying-up in this startx file, because there are a lot of complaints 
that are revealed after exiting Xvesa. Also created the file .xinitrc with 

kmail &
exec fluxbox

works for me but kppp wants the root password. What is the syntax for .xinitrc 
to add kppp to the list of apps to start-up with?

Richard
