Date: 20 Jan 1994 11:13:46 -0800 Organization: SRI International, Menlo Park, CA Lines: 27 Sender: ted@erg.sri.com Message-ID: <2hml5a$5pg@sparkyfs.erg.sri.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: sparkyfs.erg.sri.com Summary: does your copy/paste work? Keywords: shelltool Hello folks, I'm running NetBSD 0.9 off the first issue of the BSDisc CD. My system is a Dell 466/T with a 1M S3805 video chip. I'm running XFree86 2.0 also from the BSDisc. All of the X stuff (which the exception of the server, which I got from sun-lamp) is FreeBsd binaries. I've also got the FreeBsd xview32 package installed, and am runnin olwm as my window manager. My problem is this: I can not copy and paste text within (or between) shelltools and cmdtools. Trying to do so will crash the shelltool at best, and take down the whole X server at worst. Copy/paste works fine with xterms (but I despise xterms..). Has anybody else encountered (and fixed!) this problem? There is no indication within the xview32 package as to who did the port, or I would send them a note rather than asking the world. While I'm on the subject, does anyone have the owplaces layout saving command? Thanks, Ted Nolan
