Geometry and keyboard problems in X
My problem with this continue to bother me. Every time I start X I have
to ajust my emacs and lyx frames because the font and geometry settings in
the abovementioned files are ignored. I also have to run xkeycaps to
restore the default xmodmap to get compose working in X.
The contents of my .xinitrc is
-----------------------------------------
xterm -geometry 101x33+0+1 -ls &
xterm -geometry 101x33+0+2 -ls -e lynx &
xmodmap ~/.xmodmap-`uname -u` &
pgaccess &
fvwm2
------------------------------------
And my .Xresources:
------------------------------------
! /etc/X11/Xresources
!
! This is the global Xresources file. It is used by both xdm and xinit.
!
! Fix Motif client handling of backspace/delete
!
*XmTextField.translations: #override\n\
<Key>osfDelete: delete-next-character()
XTerm*utmpInhibit: false
emacs.font: 7x14
emacs.geometry: 85x30+0+0
xpdf.geometry:80x32+0+0
pine.geometry: 101x32+0+0
xterm.geometry: 101x32+0+0
lynx.geometry:101x32+0+0
---------------------------------------------
Nothing of what is supposed to work according to .Xresources actually
works.
The contents of my /etx/X11/config:
-----------------------------
# This file contains configuration flags for the X Window System.
# For a description of the meanings of the flags, see
# /usr/doc/X11/README.Debian
run-xconsole
obey-nologin
allow-user-resources
allow-user-modmap
allow-user-xsession
allow-failsafe
#start-xdm
#xdm-start-server
no-xdm-start-server
no-start-xdm
-------------------------
I have asked about this before but could not solve the problem. I had a
system working without problems on 1.3.1. Thirteen days after upgrading
to Debian 2.0 my system is still experiencing problems like this -
hampering my productivity.
I would really appreciate a solution.
