Hyper -- Misc Notes
        Date     Posted By Comments
2010-04 grieve xfs -- Font Server started on hyper to pass Mathematic fonts to the Neoware X-terminals & possibly others.
 
executable -- /usr/bin/xfs
config     -- /etc/X11/fs/config
tcp port   -- 7100
         
Changes to config included turning off "no-listen= tcp" so that daemon would listen to tcp requests; and added MathType1 fontdir to list of font catalogue pist.
#no-listen = tcp    Commented out 

catalogue = /usr/share/fonts/X11/MathType1,
            /usr/share/fonts/X11/misc/,
            /usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi/:unscaled,
            /usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi/:unscaled,
            /usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1/,
            /usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi/,
            /usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi/
2008-07-07 grieve gnome desktop not working correctly on X-terminal clients.
Users could login but the top & bottom gnome panels would not be display. Like on at least one previous occasion, the "swap Used", was non-zero -- at the time of investigation there were 7 GB of real memory available -- looks like this kernel cannot handle "any" swapping. rebooted to clear but the home directories would not mount. there was some problem w mountd on alpha... restarting got the volumes mounted -- but then we got lockd errors... specified port #s for lockd in /etc/sysconfig/nfs & restarted /etc/init.d/nfslock
