Description Robert Vojta 2002-03-28 09:55:53 UTC
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 ...

Comment 1 Robert Vojta 2002-03-28 09:58:46 UTC
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.

Comment 2 Robert Vojta 2002-03-28 11:18:47 UTC
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.

Comment 3 Trond Eivind Glomsrxd 2002-03-28 16:52:20 UTC
Verified that "emacs -q -r" works (X), and that "emacs -q -nw -r" works
(konsole, gnome-terminal). emacs-21.2-1
