Who would ever think to use w3m under X?
*ahem* :-} I sometimes use it under X to quickly look something up, because starting one of the major web browsers (Iceweasel, Chromium) takes much longer. > Long ago my husband sent Tatsuya a list of repairs/bugfixes etc. Tatsuya > replied that he wouldn't correspond with my husband because he was not a > certified developer. No wonder his software is crap. "he" = "your husband" or "Tatsuya"? Makes a great difference in character traits of the developer, although the outcome is the same, admittedly. > Just hoping that you actually found a solution but didn't bother to post. I tried it once more, and it seems nothing has changed. :-/ But there are alternatives, depending on what your husband is looking for. Obviously, he - does not want to (or cannot) work with X11 - wants or needs mouse support With these prerequisites, there are a few alternatives: - links - links2 - elinks (lynx and netriks do not seem to support mouse) where "links2" optionally supports libsvga and framebuffer graphics (-g, read the manual page for graphics mode configuration), similar to w3m with w3m-img installed. If your husband is severely autistic, a member of the Triple Nine Society, or on a really bad LSD trip, he could try "edbrowse", although I'm not sure if it supports mouse. (Admittedly, I used "ed" when I was younger, but still ...) Regards Marc-Jano -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
