Question about mrxvt. Did you enable transparency when you compiled it? If so, it must be a problem with the x server on pdaXrom that doesn't support the type of transparency that mrxvt uses. I tried cross compiling it with transparency enabled but kept getting errors. I love the tab feature of mrxvt, but miss the transparency that aterm has.

Cheers,

Jerry

Hmm,
Guess, I'll have to play with my.Xdefaults a bit more. I use the same settings for mrxvt on my desktop & transparency works fine there.

I'm guessing that since you compiled ratpoison that's what you're using, perhaps it's a matchbox-rox issue. Anyone out there having problems with mrxvt's transparency in matchbox besides me?

**Update**

Doh! No, it was just me ! Once I commented out the following lines in my ~/.Xdefaults
Code: [Select]
mrxvt*opacity: 50 mrxvt*OpacityDegree: 1Transparency works fine! (see 2nd thumbnail)

Any idea how to resize the window so that it fits within a VGA screen?

Got it! Just create a ~/.mrxvtrc or ~/.Xdefaults and refer to this:

This is what I have only:

Choose Setup Graphics from the on screen menu.
640x424 works well for me, without any window decorations.

Don't forget to choose Save Options, or you will have to do it each time you start.

You can also use 'Ctrl+Shift+r' toggle transparency.

Ah. OK, thanks. When I first installed and ran it and found that the window wasn't resizable (using the window control buttons) I thought stuff it and promptly uninstalled it.

Now I've reinstalled it and on closer examination the "Setup Graphics" menu allows setting the window to whatever size you want. Silly me.

thanks again

If you just want to make the background darker you could use the tint and shade options.
for example:
Code: [Select]
mrxvt -tr -shade 50 -tint white
If you want a truly transparent background, you will have to wait for the Composite extension to be built for pdaXrom.

Post by: ZDevil on November 19, 2005, 09:52:45 am: This is how I use the man pager (thanks dtruchan for the package!)
It works just fine. Please correct me if there is any better method.

#1 Download and install man_1.6_armv5tel.ipk in this thread and groff_1.19.1_armv5tel.ipk (coz man needs nroff) in the feeds

#2 Grab the latest man pages file from ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/docs/manpages/ (http://ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/docs/manpages/) and extract them on card (> 20MB)

#3 Edit /etc/man.conf and do a little configuration:
-- Add a new MANPATH line such as /mnt/card/man-pages-2.14
-- In the PAGER line, change /usr/bin/less -is to /bin/more (coz 'less' is missing )
-- In the BROWSER and HTMLPAGER lines set the paths of your desired browser (e.g. /usr/bin/dillo)

#4 Just type 'man any_command' to look up the relevant man pages (or man man for a good start).
