xterm

Dear Community, I am playing with terminals in X11 using x11-wm/twm. Twm is a simple window manager which supports floating windows. The XTerm are configured to use true type fonts. I can place an instance of Xterm with the geometry option. This allows to specify the size of the XTerm in terms...

I am facing an odd issue and I would like to get some feedback from others who might have faced the same issues, or that have found a solution. On my .xinitrc file Step 1: I start Xrandr to a couple of screams and arrange their position for example: xrandr --output DP-0 --fb 7680x1440...

Hello! While configuring my system I managed to screw up fonts in xterm. I wasn't touching fonts or xterm itself, so I guess I happened to pkg remove a package that took a crucial font setting or resource with it. Now, no matter which font and size I choose in .Xresources, xterm has ugly...

After repeatedly resizing an xterm window, some of its content did not redraw: I guess, one of the sizes (before the screenshot) was too narrow. Is the redraw issue to be expected? x11/xterm % pkg info -x xterm xterm-370 % uname -KU 1400048 1400048 % (I normally use Konsole, but don't...

Hello everyone. I'm having some trouble trying to add a scroll bar into a Xterm terminal. I tried to find on the internet some way to get it work but I can't because I can't find the right config file, most of the tutorials that I saw were just for Arch Linux and as I can see Xorg is a little...

I have installed FreeBSD 12.1 as a VM in virtualbox which uses VMSVGA video driver. I have configured the `/usr/ports/x11-drivers/xf86-video-vmware` and uses `vt`. I have specified `Depth 24` as color depth in the xorg.conf settings. I use a Dell XPS 15 9570. kern.vty=vt...

Hi all, Continuing on my journey of explorer life outside of a DE, I'm having some issues understanding how to correctly configure x11/xterm. I have my ~/.Xresources file which I load via ~/.xsesson using xrdb -load .Xresources ~/.Xresources looks like this: xterm*loginShell: true...

After the 10 May update to x11-wm/twm, it no longer runs but exits with the message "unable to open fontset [any you care to name]". Restoring the previous version of twm works (as expected). Anyone else have this issue?

I have recently installed FreeBSD 11.1 on my HP laptop. I created a desktop launcher on the Mate desktop for neovim, and set the terminal option to true. When started neovim starts in xterm even though my preferred terminal is konsole. How can I change the default term to konsole? Thanks in...

I see claims that XTerm is incapable of not jumping to the prompt when new output is going in or when the user presses a key. I have the solution, and is indeed a problem of letter case in the .Xdefaults or .Xresources file. To achieve the desired behaviour add this to your .Xdefaults or...

I'm currently using x11/xterm+sysutils/tmux but I have exact same issues as described here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/terminator/+bug/1427619 In short: inserting text in the middle of commandline looks like overwrite instead of insert. I already found that I had this in my ~/.chsrc: setenv...
