Dear All,
We are currently porting our system from HP-UX to Linux red hat 8.2. It is going very well.
One question: How do we enable backing store for use with X Windows, or rather The XFree86 binary. I've seen plenty of documentation but it doesn't really tell me how To enable it.
Any help or pointers would really help.
Sincerely,
Fred Bartholomai

What is "red hat 8.2"? There was RHL 8.0... and then there was RHL 9. Do you mean 7.2 or 8.0?
Sorry.
I meant 8.0. We are dealing with a few different platforms and revisions here. It is hard to keep them straight sometimes.
Any ideas ?

Hmmm. That's interesting. Need to let us know how you managed to upgrade to a non-existent OS. :)

The XFree86 binary. I’ve seen plenty of documentation but it doesn’t really tell me how
To enable it.
I believe you add '+bs' to the end of the /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers file, so it looks something like:
:0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X +bs
I haven't actually tried it, mind you.
Any help or pointers would really help.
Google is my ally, and a powerful ally it is!
