Re: Emacs splash screen went to textmode only
Quoting Olivier Nicole olivier.nic...@cs.ait.ac.th: Hi, 4) Another instance of Emacs on my desktop, this time running in a terminal. The startup screen is yet another one. In this one, I clearly recognize emacs being run inside an ascii terminal. Ascii terminal do not have graphic possibility (nor mousse) so it is only normal that there is no graphic splash screen. Yes, I am fully aware of that. In my original post I wondered if Emacs for some reason *thinks* it is running in a terminal and thus displays the terminal mode splash screen. But #2 and #4 are different, thus I proved myself wrong. If it is the same version of emacs that you run on the instances 2 and 3, I would look for a X issue. Do you have an environment variable set in the xterm? In that xterm, can you launch another xterm? Well, set displays a few screens full of environment variables, so, yes, of course there are some and they have to be there. But none of these affected Emacs before upgrading to 23.2.1. BTW launching another xterm from an xterm works without problems. regards, Markus -- Markus Hoenicka http://www.mhoenicka.de AQ score 38 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Emacs splash screen went to textmode only
Hi, I've recently updated Emacs to the latest version (23.2_2,2 from 23.1.1) along with all dependencies. Since then, the startup screen when running in an X window shows b/w text only like in the days of yore. Not that the startup screen graphics are that important, but things that don't work as expected tend to make me nervous. According to startup.el, the following variables affect what is shown at startup. Evaluating them in the scratch buffer looks like this: inhibit-startup-screen nil initial-buffer-choice nil That is, the startup screen *should* be displayed, or am I missing something here? The interesting thing is that nothing else about the startup screen appears broken. If I evaluate (fancy-startup-screen) in the scratch buffer, i.e. the function which actually displays the startup screen, Emacs faithfully does so, including the graphics and all bells and whistles. Has anything fundamentally changed between these versions? Does Emacs think it runs in a terminal? Any clues would be greatly appreciated. regards, Markus -- Markus Hoenicka http://www.mhoenicka.de AQ score 38 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
