Description of problem: I am trying to compile the kernel with a configuration tweek - the addition of IEEE1294 support. The window is taller than my screen (currently 832x624) and I cannot seem to resize it enough to see the bottom part of the window. (the explanation text of various sub-options) If I maximize the window, I can see thet there are no buttons at the bottom, so the problem is not serious, just annoying. Like a typical Windoze problem. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): qconf, copyright 2002 by Roman Zippel How reproducible: Seems to be always - although I don't remember it as a problem in the past. Steps to Reproduce: 1.cd /usr/src/linux-2.6.5-1.327 2.make xconfig 3.? can you see the bottom edge of the qconf window? Actual results: Cannot see bottom edge of window. Expected results: Should be able to see bottom edge so that window can be resized using mouse movements. (Note that resize is greyed out when window is maximized..) Additional info: My screen size is 832x624 and I have 75 dpi resolution.
This has nothing to do with make.
'make xconfig' is part of the kernel build process. The component choice of 'kernel' was my best guess. What would you suggest as the troublesome component (from the given list)?
is this still a problem in the current 2.6.9 update ? If so, you may want to report it to linux-kernel.org
I have my screen working at 1024x768 which works fine for all of the windows I had trouble with. Folks with 832 x 624 or smaller pixel count may still have problems (this was my previous screen pixel count). I got better video cables and better fonts seemed to arrive in the updates, so 1024x768 works for me (NEC 5FG - about 13 yrs old, but still works fine)
