I just wish I could get X working at all. I upgraded
to 3.3-3, and the log-in screen comes up on vty7,
but when I log in olvwm crashes and core dumps.
Oh well I'll keep reading commentaries and trying
things. No, I didn't use XF86Seetup, I used dselect.
I intend to try XF86Setup next time

Sorry to continue a long thread, but you have now peaked my curiousity -
why is the point of rxvt to avoid xrdb? Is that part of the reason it uses
less memory? Curiousity killed the cat... Cheers.

Joey -
Seems like you may've got your answer already, but I'd like to toss this
in: at some point, I don't now remember when, my rxvt stopped paying
attention to X resources written as RXvt*, but would recognize them
written as rxvt*, all lowercase. I'm pretty sure it was a Debian rxvt
before
If I add these settings to my resources, rxvt should appear in reverse video
with no scrollbar... but it seems to compltely ignore the resources. If I
specify them on the command line (rxvt -background black -foreground white
+sb), it works ok. Why? (rxvt version: 2.20-4)

Colin R. Telmer:
I had this problem a while ago and figured out a hack for it (although
this is weird) for an old version of rxvt. If I put a symlink in my home
directory as follows, it reads the resources fine:
.Xdefaults - .Xresources
However, strangely enough, I removed this symlink
Peter S Galbraith:
You could always try the latest version of rxvt. It has better colour
support, and allows the programming of menubars!
It also comes with a nicer xclock, called rclock.
Gee, sounds exactly like the debian version, which mentions just these
features in its changelog.

Nope, that's not it. xrdb is sucessfully reading in my .Xresources file, and
setting the Rxvt* entries, rxvt is just ignoring them.

I wonder if rxvt doesn't bother using the resource manager and just
tries to look in certain files. The man page seems to suggest this.
I'm also having an rxvt resource problem, but with a different file...
rxvt will read ~/.Xresources, but not

It should be fixed
