two Chromebooks, one won't display old x11 apps properly
by latticeguy from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6FJTF)
Hi,
I have two fairly recent Chromebooks both running crostini. Both are still in auto update stage. Almost everything works great on my HP a couple years old. The other is an Asus with a touchscreen. Both seem quite the same in ChromeOS. The problem is that the touchscreen model messes up widget fonts on many older x11 apps, including gv, xman, xgc. I tried disabling the touchscreen with flags, but that didn't change the issue. I prefer the simplicity of gv for postscript display, although evince and okular do work OK. But it is annoying since the Asus is so compact and puzzling since both machines seem quite identical in all other ways. Any thoughts?
