Have you got any other linux aps. running ?

For all my previous N-O installations I selected vga.
So I always saw about 80 char width for default font in UserTrack,
and 16 colours.

Now Linux Oberon fits nicely in my existing Mandrake9 & FC1 
X-windows, but with more than 80 char wide, and the FontEditPanel
fits better and there seem to be more than 16 colours ?
I think this is dependant on the X-window setting [a potentially
nasty task].

I'm guessing that you will have to set up your X-window
for the new requirements.  It's independant of Oberon ?
Perhaps try a *linux* newsgroup ?

Use successive refinement & information hiding ?

It could be real good to have Oberon in one screen while 
the other screen shows linux aps !
