Open Office and VGA Monitors
by Roger 21 Aug '03

21 Aug '03

I have Red Hat 8 on a machine, which has an old VGA monitor. Is it possible to configure Open Office to work with such an old monitor? At present the text and icons of Open Office take up the majority of the screen, so it is effectively unusable. The other applications do not suffer from the same severe problem. Any help or pointers would be appreciated. Thanks in anticipation, Roger

Committee meeting
by Craig Box 18 Aug '03

18 Aug '03

As per the decision at the last WLUG society committee meeting, subsequent committee meetings will be not be held alongside WLUG presentation meetings, but instead will be held the Thursday prior. I remind everyone there is a WLUG-Committee list that society members are welcome to join but cannot post to. (See http://list.waikato.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/wlug-committee) If anyone has any items they wish to have bought before the WLUG committee, please email them to me before Wednesday afternoon; they will be assembled into an agenda for the meeting at that point.
