Hmmm - on the same subject, is it possible to use 32K colours in X and
still be able to <Alt><FKey> on to another console? It only seems happy to
do this if X is in 256 colours...

Also, I've been having problems with RiscBSD falling over a lot with "Page
Translation Faults" and such like when I'm doing lots of memory intensive
stuff. I've tried umpteen different SIMM combinations (and swapping them
for some that I know are OK), and tried different proccessors (SA, Arm700
and Arm600), but still no joy.

Oddly, I compiled my own kernel the other day to take out a load of the
unused device drivers, and now my computer seems to be able to take more
stick before falling over. (this could of course be coincidence). 

Any ideas wht could be causing this?

Oh - and on an unrelated note, I compiled LessTif on 1.2G and have a
working shared and static library for it if anyone wants it... :)

Thanks! amd have fun!

Joe
