Re: Missing /etc/X11 ... !


My OS is Windows98 (2nd Edition), now I know this isn't fully supported,
but it seems, from the mailing list that some people managed to have it
sort of working, although not stable.

I am already at a very low resolution and just having XWin and xetrm
doesn't seem to help.

Are there patches that makes X11 work under Windows98, I don't feel like
bying a Win2000 license !

Pat.
