I am running Netbsd 0.9 on a 386-40 (4 megs)  (makes you sick huh?)
and am runing Xfree86 2.0.   I recently compiled xv3.00a from the sources
and am having a strange problem with it.  It compiles fine.. with no
warnings, nor errors..  But when run.. it simpy sits there..  does
nothing.   Ive put it in the bg, fg, killed it repeatedly and re-ran it..
but all to no avail..  no windows are made.. and seemingly no effort is
even made to create one.

this is boggling me.

Also..  i was wondering if there was a way for me to increase my virtual
screen size to something like 1600x1200 even though i do not have video
memory to contain that.  Is there any sort of program, or window manager
that would allow me to scroll around the screen like this, without loading
it all into VRAM?

please help.. thanx.
