FVWM2 window manager - config

[Peter Remirez]

HI,

Could anyone kindly tell me how I could configure the xterm sessions on FVWM window manager to include the scroll bar?

My current xterm sessions on the FVWM window manager does not have its scroll bar displayed. Hence I'm not able to scroll up/down the xterm sessions.

Could anyone help?

Thanks.

vi $HOME/.Xdefaults :

*saveLines:4000
*scrollBar:True

wq!

exit out of fvwm, log back in and fire up an xterm ... result ?


Also could try xterm -sb -sl

HI Alex,
My current configuration in the $HOME/.Xdefaults file is as follows:

!XTerm*scrollBar: true
!XTerm*scrollBarPosition: right
XTerm*saveLines: 2048
!XTerm.geometry: =80x24

However, after exiting from xterm and logging in again, the scroll bar is still invisibile.

What do the "!" symbol which is prepended to XTerm* mean?

Could you help out?

Thanks

not sure perhaps it acts as a comment ... did you try my earlier suggestion .... did that have any effect ?

try the command line option too whilst we work this out.
