alexpgpNot really.
But my seemingly endless attempts to get X to work under Mandrake 8.0 appear to have borne fruit.
Don't ask me how. All I know is that I switched from version 4-dot-something back to version 3-dot-something and ran XFdrake and Xconfigurator a lot. That, combined with the SVGA server I mentioned a while back and probably some blind dumb luck gave me a machine that, um, works.
My first official act will be to make a copy of the configuration file.
Just in case.
On other fronts, since the deadline for the translation is 9 am EDT tomorrow, I thought I'd avoid the rush and send it off tonight. It's gone, leaving me breathless with anticipation as to what tomorrow is going to bring (did she really say "3,000 words"?), not to mention the pleasure associated with cutting an invoice for this weekend's work.
Watched the fifth installment of Band of Brothers, and liked it.
Huntur is beginning to turn over from the supine position, lacking just that last oomph to make it to the prone position. Also, she is beginning to sit up from a semi-reclining position, almost with no help at all. It's really something to see how intent an infant is on accomplishing such milestones!
Time to turn in, or thereabouts.
Cheers...
