Yes, I'm using XTerm, and the Meta or Alt role is played by ESC. But Meta/Alt is enabled appending the following line: xterm*metaSendsEscape: true to the file /etc/X11/app-defaults/XTerm. > As for Emacs not having X support, which Emacs packages do you have > installed? Are there any warning messages when you start Emacs from the > command line? With the last full-upgrade, emacs24 was replaced by emacs-nox. Now, if I do: # aptitude install emacs24 , it complains that it conflicts with emacs-nox and suggests to remove it, that I expect will solve the problem. But, after all, using Emacs without GUI support is all right for me. Rodolfo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
