xemacs20

1997-07-28 Thread sjg


 
  Has anyone had success running the new debian xemacs20 package in hamm?
  
  Mine installs OK but dumps core when run and wont come up on the screen.
 

  I have had the same problem with that version of xemacs running in X.
When I tried running it from a terminal it worked fine. I have no idea why
it refuses to run under X, when xemacs19 worked just fine...

Re: major PPP packet loss

1997-07-16 Thread sjg


 Well, after several more hours of tinkering, I'm tracking down my 
 problem.  I changed the USR factory settings on my modem.  My 
 connection would still crash out.  So I let a ping session run for an 
 hour to see what happened.  Here is a sample of the results:
 round-trip min/avg/max = 210.0/361609.2/2969940.0 ms
 
 So my connection isn't dropping completely.  I'm just losing an 
 insane amount of packets.  Any suggestions?

   If all else fails, try upgrading the ROM in your modem. I haven't been
following this thread, but just recently I put in a new ROM for my
Sportster 28.8 (which now makes it a full 33.6 FWIW). In doing so, it did
actually increase the stability of me connection (ie., quakeworld runs
better, longer ;)
Of course, this may not apply if you already have a newer modem. I
wasn't paying attention very well ;)

Re: Off-topic: Making ALT be the META key

1997-07-11 Thread sjg


 Did anyone come up with a solution to this one?  
 
 Is this controlled by emacs of X keymapping (or both)?
 
 I had the same problem (with emacs) until it spontaneously corrected 
 itself.  
 
 David

  Yes, I did receive a reply about this. It turned out to be an problem
with my X keymapping (although there may have been some way to get around
it with XEmacs, but..)
  If I did an 'xmodmap', I would have a mod1 line with the two ALT keys
and a mod4 line with the two META keys. By doing a 
xmodmap -e 'remove mod4 = Meta_R' -e 'remove mod4 =Meta_L' the problem
will be resolved (ie., you removed that mapping of the Meta keys, so it
will now default to the Alt keys). 
  I have no idea which 2 keys the mod4 line was mapping the Meta keys
to...

Off-topic: Making ALT be the META key

1997-07-07 Thread sjg

  I recently installed XEmacs, and would like to have it recognize my ALT
key as the META key (which I thought was supposed to be the default, but
isn't on my machine). I played around with xmodmap some, but didn't
accomplish anything useful. This is an i386 platform, so the HP fixes for
it won't help :) Thanks.
