I recently installed Debian on my machine. When running Emacs20, I can't get a cursor over the text. It works over highlighted text, inverted, etc, but not over default text. This makes files extremely difficult to edit. But, it doesn't happened in any other program that I can see. I tried adding sw_cursor to my XF86Setup command line for X. I tried running X in different modes as well (8-bit, 16-bit) but nothing works. I tried running emacs -q --no-site-file. Has someone encountered this problem before? Oh, it also does this when I run emacs over a ppp connection to another machine which I know displays emacs correctly. Thanks Patrick Beeson [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/pbeeson/
