I have the following in my .Xdefaults file. steve[~]$ grep emacs .Xdefaults emacs*Background: DarkBlue emacs*Foreground: LightGray emacs*pointerColor: Gray50 emacs*cursorColor: Yellow steve[~]$ With this I only see a yellow rectangle where the cursor is instead of a light gray character with a yellow background. Changing the cursorColor doesn't help either. It worked a couple of days ago. Since then I have upgraded to XFree86 v3.3.1 and started using XF86_I128 instead of Xig's Xaccel which dies with an error about not being able to set the fonts directories. I know this is where the problem lies, but I just don't have the where-with-all to fix it. Please reply directly to me to save bandwidth on the list.
