Dear XBoard community, I just installed XBoard 4.8.0 on a Debian 8 machine. XBoard hasn't been installed before, so there are no leftover config files. I use the Stockfish engine.
I haven't been able to get XBoard to show absolute analysis scores. Here's what I've tried: 1. Change "-absoluteAnalysisScores false" to "-absoluteAnalysisScores true" in ~/.xboardrc 2. Run "xboard -absoluteAnalysisScores true" 3. Both of the above 4. Change "-scoreWhite false" to "-scoreWhite true" in ~/.xboardrc 5. Run "xboard -scoreWhite true" 6. All of the above 7. Go to Options/General in XBoard, tick Absolute Analysis Scores and hit Save Settings Now (this should have the same effect as 1 but you never know) 8. Load a non-UCI engine (GNU Chess) Nothing has worked so far. The .xboardrc file is loaded correctly and everything else works fine. I should mention that I had XBoard showing absolute scores without issue on a different machine. Unfortunately that box was stolen so I can't check what version of XBoard it ran or what config it had. What am I doing wrong? (Please reply or CC to my email address, I'm not subscribed to the mailing list.)
