Bug#677313: xboard: no way to remember -inc/-timeIncrement option

2013-01-03 Thread h.g. muller
XBoard has always had the XResources file, and I have always used that and loved it, until the *%&$ing xboardrc file started overriding it. So no, they weren't volatile at all. That would still qualify as volatile, because XBoard would never write in the XResources file. So whatever changes

I intentionally disabled persistence of the -inc option by forcing its value to -1 in the last line of the xboard.conf master settings file. This was motivated by the fact that a saved -inc value >= 0 would cause the -mps option to be ignored, even when the latter is explicitly specified on the

Bug#562726: xboard: font problem, crash

2011-05-11 Thread h.g. muller
It has come to my attention that problems like this are often caused by the X-server font path not being set correctly. So the dependency mechanism does load the required font packages, and they do have the required fonts in them, but the X-server cannot fin them. The situation can be corrected

This should be considered a short-coming of the documentation: XBoard 4.4.0 has built-in bitmaps for all non-orthodox piece types only in -boardSize middling and bulky, and almost all in petite. The Archbishop and Chancellor have built-in bitmaps in any size from petite to bulky. The other boardS

Perhaps this deserves some explanation: Historically XBoard has always had "GNU-mode" as default mode, which is obsolete terminology for acting as interface to a chess engine. (Dating from the time that GNU-Chess was the only existing XBoard compatible Chess engine.) The other modes, such as g
