I''ve got a Centos 5.2 guest unden Xen (dom0 is Centos 5.2 as well) that I''m reaching the console of via VNC (I''ve tried both realvnc and tightvnc and gotten the same results). It''s a text-mode console reached via vnc, not an X-based desktop session. I can''t run emacs there because CTRL-x and ALT-x seem to get eaten by something. The character ''x'' unmodified goes through fine, and other control and meta characters go through fine. Very occasionally I can get one control or alt x through, but not at all predicatably, and pretty rarely -- much less than 1 in 10 go through. This strongly suggests to me that something in the text-based Xen console is eating CTRL-x and probably ALT-x. But I don''t find anything on the web on emacs usage problems from a Xen console, and you''d think somebody would have tried that before. I''ve tried stuff like the terminal type ("linux") and "stty sane", and I''ve tried two different VNC viewers. I know VNC in general is perfectly emacs-friendly, because in my previous job I spent most of the day running emacs in VNC sessions halfway across the country. So what''s going on? -- David Dyer-Bennet, dd-b@dd-b.net; http://dd-b.net/ Snapshots: http://dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/data/ Photos: http://dd-b.net/photography/gallery/ Dragaera: http://dragaera.info _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
