have you tried to install it too ?

now the screen appear in hz mode so it is half useful
I also tested the netbook layout which is a bit better


rm -rf ~/.hp48 ;

x48 -initialize \
-smallFont fixed -mediumFont fixed -largeFont fixed -connFont fixed \
-verbose -rom gxrom-r +netbook

x48: using XShm extension.
x48: read gxrom-r
x48: using XShm extension.
x48: wire connection on /dev/pts/4
x48: wrote /home/user/.hp48/hp48
x48: wrote /home/user/.hp48/rom
x48: wrote /home/user/.hp48/ram


x48 asks about "Try to recover memory?" "Yes/No" ?
how to answer now ?




note there is a geometry option ...
