Hi, I had recently posted an email complaining that my RXVT and xterm do not refresh when I scroll them resulting in unreadable lines of text. I did not get any response and I thought I would in the meantime fix another problem wherein backspace was not working. I had read in the archives that this problem was seen by others and tried one solution to no avail.
Then I was looking at the "X Strike Force" web page and thought I would change the terminal type in /etc/X11/Xresources as specified in that web page. I tried to edit that file and found out that it is a directory on my system. This directory contains two files, xbase and xbase-clients. The contents of the files are: :::::::::::::: xbase :::::::::::::: ! /etc/X11/Xresources/xbase ! load color-specific resources for clients that have them #ifdef COLOR *customization: -color #endif ! make Xaw (Athena widget set) clients understand the delete key *Text.translations: #override ~Shift ~Meta <Key>Delete: delete-next-character() :::::::::::::: xbase-clients :::::::::::::: ! /etc/X11/Xresources/xbase-clients Is there something wrong here? Should Xresources be a file or should it be a directory or can it be either? I have a matrox productiva g100 graphics card and this was not supported in the xfree86 that came with debian 2.0 so I installed the version provided by SUSE which had the latest and which was to be available in the next release of xfree86. I am not sure if that messed things up. If this is a problem, how do I clean it up? Please let me know if I need to provide more info about my system. Please specify what since I am a newbie.
