Re: GkkEntry length and TRU64

[Philip Goisman <goisman physics arizona edu>]

Hi,

	Try the following:  edit /var/X11/xserver.conf
At the bottom of the file there's a line starting with
	-pn
Change this to 
	-pn -depth 16 -screen0 1600x1200 -vsync 75

Do man Xdec for more information.

	Now I have some more infos but no solution for my problem.
	The problem is coherence with the graphic card.
	In one alpha station we have the graphic card Digital ZLXp2-E 2MB
	(driver tga0) and the font is ok and the width of entries are ok.
	We change the grafic card in this station to Else Gloria Synergie 8MB (
	driver comet0) and the fonts are to big and the width of the entries are
	to large. That means, use other (smaller) font is not the solution,
	because  
		length = gtk_entry_set_width_chars(GTK_ENTRY(tmpW),4);
	gives not the right value.
		
	Has anyone expierience with digital (TRU64) and can help.
	Thanks Bernd
