Actually, if you are able to follow the directions on fetching and building the cvs version you _could_ do that. It is not difficult and I have seen no bugs in what I use. The official release is not long in coming. However, if you only want fullscreen and have no other compelling reason to upgrade, don't. It would be _far_ easier to simply set the geometry in .Xdefaults. I have: emacs.geometry: 100x38+0+0 for a 1024x768 screen using the font setting: emacs*font: 10x20 which fills my screen. For some reason, maybe it is because I am not using a window manager or desktop environment, --fullscreen does not work. rdc -- Robert D.
