Re: [gentoo-user] Re: emacs shell color question

In normal shell-mode (M-x shell) I do see the escape sequences you mention but not in eshell (M-x eshell). ...[snip]... I have similar problems with xemacs. Both shell and eshell act the same and there seems to be no ansi-term for xemacs. This used to work fine. Could this be a terminfo problem? When I do the following in a xemacs shell: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ echo $TERM emacs [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ find /usr/share/terminfo -name emacs -print [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ Doesn't this indicate that the terminal type emacs is missing from the terminfo database. If so, how would I get it back? Tom -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Loss of VT switching capabilities after Gnome 2.16 upgrade
I've been having problems with something on the lines of gnome-settings-daemon. When starting X, gnome starts up and I immediately get an issue with this daemon which makes reference to something relating to dbus and Bonobo in another place. It warns about potential theme/settings problems which make sense because things look a little dry, here (it has a big-java-applet feel). The upgrade guide at: http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/gnome/howtos/gnome-2.16-upgrade.xml mentions possible problems with gnome-settings-daemon and what can be done.

I tried the desktop and low latencydesktop options, and in both of them my desktop seemed overloaded.even mouse movement was chopped.This sounds similar to a kernel upgrade problem that I had a few versions ago. The mouse would get choppy any time the system was accessinga disk. Having several applications reading/writing in parrallel would make thesystem unusable. Disk access was also much slower.I used genkernel to build the kernel and I had forgotten the step about copying over the /proc/config.gz.

Re: [gentoo-user] How do I get larger fonts in X ?

You can control xterm fonts with either command line options or with
Xtoolkit resources. man xterm shows the option:
-fn font This option specifies the font to be used for displaying
normal text. The default is fixed.
and for a resource:
font (class Font) Specifies the name of the normal font. The
default is ``fixed.''
Reviewing the rest of the man file, there are many other options and
resources for controlling fonts. Far more than I remember from the
last time I looked at this particular man file. Looks like some
experimentation would be in order to determine what works best for
you.
