Well, I'm not sure what you mean by the install script but if you had done simply "dpkg --install emacs-X.deb" (where X is replaced by the versioning information), it would have done things right (it did for me). By installing somewhere else, dpkg cannot make arbitrary links so you need to do these yourself directly (which I also did when I first installed emacs). > > > Cannot open load file: term/x-win > > Dunno where this is or where it's supposed to be, but emacs now > executes :-) I didn't get this problem. Not sure why but possibly because I had first tried the non-X version of Emacs which required ncurses-base to be installed and that may have provided the terminfo entry required. > Getting it full-screen is more difficult: the thread I referred to tails > off with the post from Eric saying > > > Excellent.

Well, I kind of chickened out in the end and bought myself (this past week) an N810... the hardware keyboard frees up enough screen space that I no longer need the X version of Emacs (happy to run the non-X version in a ROXTerm although less happy in the osso-xterm which occupies too much space with frippery... [1]). > Incidentally, now it's installed and executing, how do I add it to the > system menu so that I don't need to invoke it from a command in the > xterm window? I don't know about the system menu but, I believe, you should be able to install any arbitrary command into the "personal menu" (which is introduced by an application you can install). I've not tried this, mind you. HTH, eric Footnotes: [1] In case anybody can help, I have two niggles left in my configuration of the 810 for Emacs use. I'm using roxterm to get free up the screen space used by osso-xterm for the "Tab Esc ..." line but that means that I don't have a tab key (okay, I can type C-i, obviously but that's also difficult). Is it possible to remap the Chr key on the hardware keyboard to generate the tab (or anything else for that matter)? A second question: is it possible to also get rid of the "line" on the screen that is displayed as soon as you start using the hardware keyboard, the line that displays "abc", "Abc", "ABC" or "Fn" as the case may be? I don't need that kind of visual feedback... _______________________________________________ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@xxxxxxxxx https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
