Re: problems with X



Hi Ariel,
As I know, the problem isnt in X or In Netscape. I think that this is a 
problem with your own distro with your own X with your own Netscape 
package. Thats happened to me lots of time ago, and this was a problem in 
my distro that couldnt run X and netscape as it needed to. For me and lots 
of people Netscape and X works perfectly together and I cant see any 
problem with X and Netscape combination. As I know working with Hebrew 
forms are making X to stop responding maybe this is the prob?
I dont think that this is a problem with Internet or DNS.
