Hello,

I'm not really confident with my communication software (Eudora).
You should get my problem completely documented in the attachments.
If not, please tell me. I'm really interested in "geomview".

By, Maurice.

Hello !

>From the LINUX-Journal (Issue 23) I discovered Geomview. Unfortunately
it doesn't work. Since such a software was that I ever wanted to have,
tell me if my problem comes from my hardware or a bad X11 installation
or use. Thanks for your help.

PS: I'm not sure that my XF86Config file is correctly set but I can
    run X11 programs like GNUplot, Seyon, etc.
