emacs font-lock-mode issues in solaris 10

emacs font-lock-mode issues in solaris 10

[jk]

I'm having two issues with solaris 10 and emacs.

1) font-lock-mode fails with "X windows are not in use or not
initialized"
2) backspace works in the shell, but fails inside emacs.  Instead, it
pulls up the "*help*"

TERM is set to xterm
stty:
speed 9600 baud; evenp hupcl
rows = 46; columns = 71; ypixels = 694; xpixels = 658;
erase = ^h; swtch = <undef>;
-inpck -istrip icrnl -ixany ixoff onlcr
echo echoe echok echoctl echoke iexten

Thanks in advance,

jk

Also, I should have mentioned, I'm running emacs as "emacs -nw".

I can't help with 1), but 2) is actually a FAQ. This command fixed it
for me:

  stty erase '^?'

Adding (keyboard-translate ?\C-h ?\C-?) to my .emacs resolved issue
#2.

Anyone have any ideas on issue #1?

Thanks.

Yes, this works, too, but you can not use C-h anymore to get help. For
this reason I'd rather use stty to have the correct terminal
settings.

In Solaris, ^H is the default for backspace.  Changing it with stty
erase to ^? may resolve the emacs issues, but it will break the xterm.

See which result you get when you add -q or -Q to -nw when launching  
GNU Emacs. They avoid loading your own or your and the system's init  
files.
