That did work, but I could have sworn (not able to look at that particular machine right now), that the manpage said 'ATerm'. -Rob

Run the following line on the command line in your home directory xrdb -load .Xresources If that does the trick then run it from your X startup file. hth, kent -- "The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them." --Albert Einstein
aterm and ~/.Xdefaults
Aterm doesn't seem to want to read my ~/.Xdefaults file even though its manpage declares it will. Before anyone tells me to try ~/.Xresources, I already have, and xterm reads ~/.Xdefaults just fine. All I have in my ~/.Xdefaults is the background and foreground color: XTerm*background: black XTerm*foreground: grey I also tried 'ATerm' in place of 'XTerm', but to no avail. Aterm remains the default white background and black foregound. I'm running unstable (sid) btw. Anyone have some pointers ,ideas, etc? -Rob
