I dont know what your previous config was, but (supposing you did not upgrade your emacs package) one possible explanation would be that your xterm still generated the ^[[H and ^[[F sequences for home and end. This is now considered bogus by the debian as well as upstream X maintainers so this has changed, but I know debian used the old mappings at some point. I dont know when the switch occured exactly. As for the beep problem, I was getting exactly the same thing with xemacs21. I *think* it is because the xterm.elc uses the [select] key, while other parts of [x]emacs dont know about select. I would not bet too much on my explanation though :) -- Michel "Walken" LESPINASSE - Development Engineer at Wind River Systems "We've all heard that a million monkeys banging on a million typewriters will eventually reproduce the entire works of Shakespeare.
