Hi, I'm trying to figure out if I can do without X for my regular computing needs. Most of what I do is text-based, primarily emacs, mutt, slrn. However, I find emacs in particular is easier to deal with in X, as there is better support for function keys. Stuff like xmodmap is a great tool, so I can switch caps-lock to something useful. And without X some key-chords produce garbage - anything with an arrow key is out, for a start. Erm, just noticing that even single arrow keys don't work properly - they all seem to move the cursor up, and leave behind stray letters as they go.
Are these just part of working in a console, or can someone point me to a resource for fixing them up? Thanks, Tyler -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
