Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 62193
command line args ignoring?
Last modified: 2007-04-18 12:41:22 EDT
Description of Problem: I'm trying to run emacs in reverse video mode (argument -r) and it doesn't work. Other arguments as -bg, -fg are not working too. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): [echelon:~]rpm -qa | grep emacs emacs-leim-21.2-1 emacs-el-21.2-1 emacs-21.2-1 emacspeak-15.0-1 emacs-cs-utils-21.1-1 [echelon:~]cat /etc/redhat-release Red Hat Linux release 7.2.92 (Skipjack) [echelon:~] How Reproducible: Run terminal and try `emacs -r`. It doesn't work for me, in Enigma it works fine. Expected Results: Non ignoring command line arguments ... (Or I'm wrong somewhere) Additional Information: There are problems with shipped Skipjack CDs, it's hand update from 7.2 to Skipjack. Maybe there is some problem? I think no, everything else works fine under emacs ...
Hmm, now I tried to use ~/.Xresources file and emacs is ignoring it too. One line from ~/.Xresources emacs.reverseVideo:on and it doesn't work too. Not only command line args are ignored, Xresources file too.
I'm sorry, second comment is bad, .Xresources works fine, I forgot to run xrdb tool. But -r command line argument is still not working.
Verified that "emacs -q -r" works (X), and that "emacs -q -nw -r" works (konsole, gnome-terminal). emacs-21.2-1
