- Hi,
-
- I just got the latest release of emacs (18.58) and
- compiled it on our new HP730. Everything seems to
- work except _some_ of the Meta functions. Some are
- OK, such as M-< and M->, but something like M-x
- won't work. For alot of the functions that won't
- work, emacs seems to be getting a different key press.
-
- e.g., I'll press M-x and M-q will be displayed in the
- mini-buffer at the bottom of the emacs window. It's
- as if _some_ of the Meta functions are being _translated_
- before they get to emacs.
-
- Could this be the 700's X server or HP-VUE? I ask this
- way because of the following:
-
- If I go to another workstation, rlogin to the 730,
- set my DISPLAY enviornment variable to the workstation I'm
- at, and run emacs.... everything works fine!
-
- The 730 is the only 700 series machine in the group (all
- the rest are 300 series), so perhaps the 700's X server?
- The 700 is also the only one running HP-VUE, maybe that?
- Note that the keypress' aren't being stopped -- emacs
- gets a keypress, just not what I typed!
-
- Thanks for any help,
-
