Re: crashes if no X server

Peter> XEmacs 21.4.6 "Common Lisp" configured for Peter> `i386-debian-linux'. Please update to 21.4.10 or later. Several changes that might address this have been made to X device handling. I can't guarantee that anything useful will happen; quite possibly you will get a graceful exit saying that the X server seems to have died, which is a reasonable response to the situation (can connect to the X11 port, can't get display characteristics). In the meantime, tell PUTTY not to pretend it's an X server when it isn't, or try starting XEmacs -nw. PUTTY is deliberately trying to confuse XEmacs; it's not surprising that it succeeds. -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Ask not how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software.
