I brought up X11 release 2 this week and corrected x11term.c so that it wouldn't dump core when pasring command line options. (It used sizeof(char *ptr) instead of strlen(ptr) when xmalloc'ing memory to copy strings into. Everything now works with two exceptions - 1. When emacs first starts up (I do not specifiy a file to be edited on the command line) it hangs before displaying the mode line. The window is created but has nothing in it except the very bottom line which is a string put out by my .emacs file. When I touch any key or click the mouse in the emacs window it continues normally. I.e., it seems to be hung waiting for an event. Has anyone else seen this? 2. I can set all of the colors (foreground, background, the text cursor) except the mouse pointer color. It is always black with a white border. Has anyone found and corrected this problem? While the above exceptions are minor I am having a larger problem with the x version of gdb (xgdb). Attempts to compile xgdb.c result in the following: xgdb.c:33:(offset 1252): can't find include file `X11/TopLevel.h' xgdb.c:34:(offset 1275): can't find include file `X11/VPane.h' xgdb.c:38:(offset 1372): can't find include file `X11/ButtonBox.h' Does xgdb.c need to be changed or am I missing some files? Thank you, mike

I don't know about the color stuff, and I also couldn't get xgbd to compile, but since emacs works with X11 I just bring up a gdb window within emacs..... Christopher Welty --- Asst.
