i have a sun 19" :)

and a Medion 19", whats the problem ?

the sun i need a 13w3 adaptor for, and it will do 1280x1024 in 60hz :)

the medion is upto 1600x1200 in 72hz, stable and good on my matrox g200 !

done, but i wish i could set default xterm size somplace so it starts that
size every time, is it a dream ?

and i have changed my msged to 

   ----- msged.cfg begins -----
IF TERM=linux
    Switch colors on
    Switch BS127 on
    Switch pseudographics off
ELIF TERM=xterm
    Switch colors on
    Switch BS127 on
    Switch pseudographics on
ELSE
    Switch colors off
    Switch BS127 off
    Switch pseudographics off
ENDIF
   ----- msged.cfg ends -----

this is my relevant part that now works here.

tips is always welcome :)

i do :)

so the problem is not linux :)

 ac> KFE?
