Subject: getting emacs to use GUI mode
Date: Mon, 21 Jul 2008 15:30:03 -0700 (PDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <bd8cbfc6-10ea-4dc3-a8e0-3e23a0e8499c@a2g2000prm.googlegroups.com> (raw)

Is there a way to force emacs to use the X display? I read that
setting DISPLAY env var will do that, but that does not seem to work
-- its value is already set to ":0.0", but emacs still runs in CLI
mode. There also isn't any kind of error or warning, it just simply
loads in CLI mode.

Would a greater understanding of X11 server/client system be required
to solve this problem, or am I still missing something else?

I am using...

Debian Etch
gnome-terminal
emacs 22.1.1


thanks,
-Thr4wn
