What is happening here? Sometimes, for some strange reason, distributions compile and install non graphic emacs. Either you'll find a way to configure your distribution to provide a X emacs, or just download the sources yourself, and compile them with X enabled. It takes less than 5 minutes. > Also on the first system the background of Emacs is black and on the > second white. What could be the reason? There are defaults stored in various places. One is ~/.Xresources, another is ~/.emacs ; if you get different settings when launching emacs with or with -Q, then they could come from site global initialization files (depends on the distribution). -- __Pascal Bourguignon__
