Obviously I'm not familiar with the VT1000, either: I've just been informed it's an X terminal! Not sure why xdpyinfo would tell you it supports PEX; Maybe it does (though the only PEX terminal I've heard of is Tektronix's). When I run xdpyinfo on my NCD it does not claim that PEX is a supported extension. Anyhow, cdpyinfo gets it's stuff from the server. So if xdpyinfo tells you a server supports PEX, and in fact that server does NOT support PEX, that is a bug in the server. -- -paul pmartz@dsd.es.com Evans & Sutherland
