Hi Michael..
Thanks for your note. And my X display is whatever you get when you do a full
'desktop' installation of RedHat. I don't know anymore than that. I know
this is not saying much but is there an environment file that I need to look
in and change, that will correc this?
As to emacs - I get this when logged in as a user (myself) and it objects to
coming up. It says that there is a DISPLAY problem and maybe try and use a
'-d'. Whatever that means.
Another place I get it , is sometimes when I run 'netcfg'. Actually with
this I get a screen full of lines that indicate something is wrong and it
ends with this DISPLAY question..
