Re: xterm configuration
Rafael
Thanks for the tip for using shift pgup-pgdn. That helped in retrieving
my banking stuff.
I still have the problem of getting X to recognize settings I want to
change, such as XTerm *ScrollBar, xset settings, starting
xscreensaver. It's just like ~/.Xresourses, is ignored. (read below)
I'm currently comparing my slink and hamm installed packages to see if I
forgot to install something in slink that would cause the problem of not
recognizing the above settings. I don't use apt or dselect; I just
install manually at my leisure, so if a package comes up short with a
dependency problem, I just download what I need until the package
installs without errors. So, maybe X installed without a dependency
problem, but is still missing a obscure file or package that's not
readily apparent to me.
Any solutions, or directions are welcomed.
