Hello.

I've installed the MacX server that comes with A/UX distribution, and it's
working fine, except for several problems I hope you can help me with:

1. clients only appear B&W. This could be a hardwer problem (no, I do have
   a color monitor :-), because I've had problems with other applications,
   but just to be sure, what should I check?

2. I've installed MacX under /mac/bin/MacX, and I seem to have problems with
   the fonts folder - Every time I start MacX, it says that it scans the
   fonts directory, and then a warning message appear, about having problems
   with writing to the fonts directory file. I guess it has do do with file
   permissions, but I tried chmod 777 the fonts dir file, and I tried using
   setuid, and it doesn't seem to help. Advise anyone?

3. Is there a way to change the mac window management to another one, say
   olwm?

Thanks in advance,

O.S.
