Rein,
Thanks. The fldigi-3.03.1-x86-staticx.tar.gz with all the statically
linked X libraries is working on my eee 701 with stock Xandros.
I had to edit the .xml file manually to get my callsign and name in.
It now accepts inputs in the QSO section most of the time and
certainly accepts input in the TX window. Upgraded to Pskmail client
1.0 so I don't need to switch to Puppy for Pskmail. Great news.
I used the undocumented option in the linuxham yahoo group for
matching the screen size:
fldigi --window-height 440
Then press Alt-F10 and it fits to the window. Works great.
73s, John
