Hello,
I'm trying to switch from rxvt to urxvt (rxvt-unicode), but keep the
same font appearance.
As far as I can tell, I have no default font configured for rxvt
(.Xresources and .Xdefaults are blank). I found a default font for
urxvt in /etc/X11/app-defaults/URxvt, which I commented out.
I th
he setup.
Dunno why you 2.4 wouldn't see the default keyboard -- sounds likes its
a configuration problem or a kernel problem. Google for ``pavillion
keyboard 2.4'' in google groups, you should get a few hits.
