hello, I put in one .Xdefaults some "defaults" parameters for xterm such as reverseVideo (true) and so on ... then I run the cmdline : xrdb -merge .Xdefaults, to load these defaults but after this when for example typing "xterm" on cmd line, I realized that my defaults were not taken into account, that is to say xterm was not in reverseVideo as I set it by default I was root when doing that and the .Xdefaults file was in the directory of "root" ( I mean not the root "/" directory ) can someone tell me what is wrong and what I have to do to make the .Xdefaults be tken into account ? thanks for your help edouard -- *-----------------------------------------------------------------* | Edouard DEBRY | | Ph-D student at E.N.P.C - C.E.R.E.A http://www.enpc.fr/cerea/ | | | | 21 Rue Nobel, Cité Descartes TEL : 33 1 64 15 21 52 | | 77455 CHAMPS SUR MARNE MAIL : debry@xxxxxxxxxxxxx | | | | Thesis subject: MODELING OF AN ATMOSPHERIC AEROSOL DISTRIBUTION | *-----------------------------------------------------------------* _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list XFree86@xxxxxxxxxxx http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
