- Hi, I have 2 questions about xterm and hope that somebody will help:
-
- 1.) whenever I use command line switches to fire up an xterm,
- for example: xterm -bg black -fg red -fn 10x20, I will get
- the errors: xterm: unable to find usable termcap entries.
- WHY? I was, however, abled to set up these switches through
- .Xresources (if my termcap is not complete, then setting these
- switches in .Xresources shouldn't work too right)
-
- 2.) I am unabled to copy-and-paste text from one xterm to another.
- In school, I was abled to select text by the left button and
- paste text with the middle button. (I try this with a two buttons
- mouse as my three buttons mouse's middle button is not working)
- I am pretty sure I set up my Xconfig right:
-
- Mircosoft "/dev/ttys0"
- BaudRate 1200
- Emulate3Buttons
- ...
- ..
- I try taking the line "Emulate3Buttons" out when using 3 buttons mouse,
- but still it doesn't work..
- What have I done wrong? and how to get the 3 buttons mouse to work?
-
- Could somebody email me a complete termcap for xterm ?
- BTW, I am running Xfree1.1 on Linux, 486DX33 16M, ET4000 video card and
- mircosoft compatible mouse.
-
- I would be very grateful if someone could help me by email or the newsgroup.
