<UL>
|
|
<LI>Is it possible or wise to start the font server using inetd?
|
|
</LI>
|
|
<LI>If the remote host running the font server is powered down but later
|
|
comes up again, with the font server active, the X terminal may fail to
|
|
retrieve its fonts. The font path entry has to be re-entered with the
|
|
console menu or xset. Why?
|
|
</LI>
|
|
<LI>Are the procedures for other models of X terminals roughly similar?
|
|
</LI>
|
|
<LI>What is the procedure to boot the X terminal using NFS (Network File
|
|
System) or RARP (Reverse Address Resolution Protocol)?
|
|
</LI>
|
|
<LI>The following messages appear in the X terminal Console. I am
|
|
suspicious that they come from xfree86 extensions to X which are not part
|
|
of the X terminal server. Can someone confirm or deny this?
|
|
<PRE>
|
|
%XSERVER-I-NEWCLIENT, host "localhost" connected with blank authorization
|
|
%XSERVER-W-NOEXTENSION, client attempted to use non-existent extension "BIG-REQUESTS"
|
|
%XSERVER-W-NOEXTENSION, client attempted to use non-existent extension "XKEYBOARD"
|
|
%XSERVER-W-NOEXTENSION, client attempted to use non-existent extension "XFree86-Misc"
|
|
</PRE>
|
|
|
|
</LI>
|
|
<LI>Could Linux be ported to an X terminal? This is almost a joke
|
|
question but Linux is already on some unlikely platforms.
