>Description:
When I attempt to build the rxvt's from /usr/ports, they seem to
build ok, however, when I try to run them, they show up as blank.  No
text, no cursor, nothing.  Very odd I think.  I have been looking
around the newsgroups, faq's and web pages, but can find nothing
about this particular problem I am having.  I have been using rxvt's for
a number of years  now, and have never seen anything quite like it before.
I have tried fiddling with the different -bg -fg colors, and the
only one that seems to work is -bg ( I can make them all black! ).

I have included the output of make install ( maybe those warnings are
significant? ):

I tried to get a screen shot of it, but xv wasn't playing nicely.  The odd
thing is, I know that the login shell is working, because I can do a ^D
and have them exit.  At one point I ran top in one, and some text
flickered by for a second

I don't know what you need to know in terms of versions and all, but
the rxvt's are 2.20, the kernel is 2.2.5-RELEASE ( if that matters )
running XFree for a standard S3 chip ( version 3.3.1 ) with 64K
colors ( which I still have plenty of free colors left, as I can
open up all sorts of fun things with no palette swappage ).

>How-To-Repeat:
Simply go to /usr/ports/x11/rxvt and type make;make install.  Then
run rxvt ( with any sort of parameters you want ).  Evidently,
Jordan Hubbard saw a post of mine on comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc,
and was able to recreate the problem on 2.2.5-stable, so it doesn't
seem to be intrinsic to that.
