- I have managed to get X running now. I have a few questions (not problems):
-
- 1. Once I started xdm, how do I get out of it?
-
- 2. How do I get emacs to run in a window by itself (which is what it supposed
- to do)? I tried emacs myfile & and it went into bg in the xterm I was in,
- instead of opening up another window.
-
- 3. Which dot file is the one that specifies what xprog get executed when
- X starts? How do I specify the position and size of these progs (e.g.
- xclock, xeyes, xlogo, etc) Can anyone send me a sample?
-
- ANSWERS:
- 1. Login as root, and kill it I guess.
-
- 2. Get, for example,
- tsx-11.mit.edu:pub/linux/packages/emacs-18.59/x11emacs-bin-18.59a.tar.Z
-
- 3. ~/.xinitrc
-
- Hope this helps --- Delman.
