xdvi configurations in Slack


Hey guys,
Simple (I hope) problem here, my xdvi configuration is wacky. It never shows the entire page, cuts off the left side of text. This happened after having to shut the program down a few times due to it hating me.

In any case, the root configuration file works perfectly, so I was wondering if someone knew how to

a) reset user configuration for xdvi to defaults, or
b) copy root configuration over to user.

Thanks!

It probably has to do with the "-s" and "-geometry" switches.
You can try starting xdvi with "-s 6" without the quotes.

You can add xdvi to the start menu using the menu editor. There is a box for adding start up switches to a program.
