Question A few questions


Hey guys,
I just have a few questions to ask, if you don't mind.

1. VNC
So far, I have gotten vnc to work great, the java server thingie works and everything! There is just one thing thats not working; some apps, like xchat and xmms's fonts show up as little 'blocks'. I think this may have something to do with font paths, although I have added my entire default font path in the vncserver script.(You can obtain that path by typing 'xset -q' in a terminal in your normal X session)

2. GPM & X
Well, first of all, GPM works great when X is not running, and the mouse in X works great regardless of weather GPM is running or not. When I start X, and then go out again, GPM is stuck to the top line of the terminal, and behaves erratically when I touch the mouse. I use the imps2 driver for both. Any idea on how to make X and GPM behave like good neighbors? (Just by the way, I had this working before, before I upgraded to Slackware 8.1. But I forgot how I fixed it.

3. GLUT
This is not essential, but a lot of apps seems to use it.
I followed Glut 3.7's README as best I could. But unfortunately its very badly written. Anyway, it compiled correctly, but now I don't know what files should go where .. In the ./lib/glut/ directory there is one file I think called libglut.so.3.7, but when I move that file alone to /usr/local/lib, and try to link another app to it, it spits out a lot of 'Unresolved Symbols', so I guess thats not the only file I have to move to install this beast.

Any ideas? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Oh, and by the way, as I mentioned before, I use Slackware 8.1

Thanks!
