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? ): ===> Building for rxvt-2.20 echo "#define VERSION \""2.20"\"" > VERSION.h; cc -c -I/usr/X11R6/include -I./.. -O command.c cc -c -I/usr/X11R6/include -I./.. -O debug.c cc -c -I/usr/X11R6/include -I./.. -O graphics.c cc -c -I/usr/X11R6/include -I./.. -O grkelot.c cc -c -I/usr/X11R6/include -I./.. -O main.c main.c: In function `Create_Windows': main.c:783: warning: passing arg 2 of `xterm_seq' discards `const' from pointer target type main.c:784: warning: passing arg 2 of `xterm_seq' discards `const' from pointer target type main.c:786: warning: assignment discards `const' from pointer target type cc -c -I/usr/X11R6/include -I./.. -O menubar.c cc -c -I/usr/X11R6/include -I./.. -O misc.c cc -c -I/usr/X11R6/include -I./.. -O netdisp.c cc -c -I/usr/X11R6/include -I./.. -O screen.c cc -c -I/usr/X11R6/include -I./.. -O scrollbar.c cc -c -I/usr/X11R6/include -I./.. -O utmp.c cc -c -I/usr/X11R6/include -I./.. -O xdefaults.c cc -o rxvt command.o debug.o graphics.o grkelot.o main.o menubar.o misc.o netdisp.o screen.o scrollbar.o utmp.o xdefaults.o -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lSM -lICE -lX11 sed 's%@VERSION@%2.20%g;s%@DATE@%"23 January 1997"%g;s%@MAINT@%"mj olesen <olesen@me.queensu.ca> but thesis first!/will someone else volunteer?"%g' rxvt.1.in > rxvt.1 ===> Installing for rxvt-2.20 ./etc/xmkdir /usr/X11R6/bin ./etc/xmkdir /usr/X11R6/man/man1 /usr/bin/install -c -o bin -g bin -s -m 755 rxvt /usr/X11R6/bin/rxvt /usr/bin/install -c -o bin -g bin -m 644 rxvt.1 /usr/X11R6/man/man1/rxvt.1 ===> Compressing manual pages for rxvt-2.20 ===> Registering installation for rxvt-2.20 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. >Fix: Sure wish I knew >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
