Well, who says Redhat and SuSE build mc with gpm support? > In comment 25 I said I installed gpm. That put it in /etc/rc.d/init.d, which > NAICT means the lack of improvement after installing gpm meant no improvment > with gpm running. It having an init script in /etc/rc.d/init.d doesn't necessarily mean it starts at boot, and you didn't say if you had rebooted or not. But it seems like you know more about mc, gpm, mandrake than anyone, and you don't want to try what other people suggest, so I don't see why I should waste my time - hopefully the maintainer can fix this, but mc works fine on all the machines I have tried it on. -- Configure bugmail: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: UNCONFIRMED creation_date: description: mc startup has actually been fubar since at least 9.0, possibly before that, but I can't remember. I haven't stopwatched it, but if started immediately upon 1st login after boot, it must be taking at least one minute, a seeming eternity, both in 9.1 and 9.2rc1. Upon entering mc at shell prompt, the screen is blanked, cursor goes to bottom left, and nothing happens for a while. Eventually, some liblow error messages quickly scroll up the screen too fast to read, and mc becomes ready to use. Hardware is rather old, P200 for rc1, with 128 MB RAM & PCI graphics card, but immaterially better on K6/2-500 with 256 MB RAM and same graphics adapter for 9.1, and on a P3-450 with 768 MB RAM and G450 graphics adapter..
