hardware us an HP media center M1264n. it accepts linux: debian and
ubuntu with no problems.
this is a fresh install of the latest release. upgrades are not yet
available to me - still can't get terminal to work usefully. the print
is too small. i have made the desktop usable to me.
i am working on two items.
1. because of vision problems, i cannot use the firefox version
in the release. i require fg yellow fb black, and find original
colors at mozilla extremely difficult to make out. when i go into
preferences, and change the colors, the change does not occur.
when i try to click on the line about allowing pages to use
their own colors, there is no response. there is no response to
clicking the ok button.
2. when i right click on the desktop, a menu with an optin for terminal
appears. i click on it and get an almost unreadable black on white
xterm. clocking on run command in the menu gives me a readable
box in which i enter xterm -fg yellow -fb black gives me usable colors,
but the smae font. man xterm tells me that this is the 'fixed' size.
-fn xxxx does not work.
in all other unixes, a ^right click on the xterm yields a menu
in which i can select large font and a font type which permits large.
not the latest opensxce release.
