Hi,
I have had a look at cwm today. It looks nice. This is
OpenBSD 4.3 GENERIC#698 i386
I have found out that when I redefine term in .calmwm with a symbolic
link to xterm with a certain font, that geometry etc, pressing
C-M-Enter spawns a new terminal, the one I redefined but, then, when
trying to use the nice ``Ssh to'' dialog with M-. I simply get "my"
xterm after the dialog but no connexion.
That is what .Xdefaults or similar is for...
XTerm*termName: xterm-xfree86
XTerm*background: black
XTerm*foreground: grey
XTerm*jumpScroll: true
XTerm*multiScroll: true
XTerm*scrollBar: false
XTerm*metaSendsEscape: true
XTerm*faceName: Bitstream Vera Sans Mono
XTerm*faceSize: 7
(yes, those are what I use)
yes, I agree. But .Xdefaults is not quite trivial to understand; e.g.
how do you pass the option to receive console output? What is the
equivalent of -C on the command line for .Xdefaults?
Something I also do not understand, most likely due to my abhorrent
ignorance, is why all man pages here
/usr/X11R6/man/ are not installed per default. man xterm yields
nothing. If I am supposed to do it on my own,
I'd appreciate a hint how to do it. I don't see any Makefile there.
That means that all these programmes:
FvwmAuto.0 FvwmIconMan.0 FvwmScroll.0 koi8rxterm.0 xterm.0
FvwmBacker.0 FvwmIdent.0 FvwmTalk.0 resize.0 xtsscale.0
FvwmBanner.0 FvwmM4.0 FvwmWinList.0 ssh-askpass.0 xvctl.0
FvwmButtons.0 FvwmPager.0 cwm.0 uxterm.0

FvwmForm.0 FvwmSave.0 glxgears.0 xpmroot.0
FvwmIconBox.0 FvwmSaveDesk.0 glxinfo.0 xsystrace.0
do not have man pages after a default installation (cwm among them)
elachistos(p7)| ls /usr/X11R6/man/ ~ (16:54)

elachistos(p7)| man xterm ~ (16:56)
man: no entry for xterm in the manual.
diff /tmp/man2.conf /etc/man.conf
yields nothing. /tmp/man2.conf is from an obsd 4.2 box in which man
xterm works well...
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Pau,
Something is wrong with your path or MANPATH, as
/usr/X11R6/man/cat1/xterm.0 is the man page for xterm.
man -m or -M might help.
HTH
