What kind of video card and display do you have? What X windows settings are you using (8-bit, 24-bit,...; 640x480, 600x800,...). A lot of detail is a good thing. It sounds like you might be starved for colors right off the bat. Are you using Gnome or KDE? >>> scottdagastino at yahoo.com 02/06/01 10:55AM >>> I have recently installed Redhat Linux 6.1 out of the box. When I go into startx, everything displays just fine until I invoke the xterm. The xterm comes up and I can type in commands that work, but problems: 1. prompt does not display 2. what I type is not displaying. 3. If I then highlight the window (with mouse) then all the commands are displayed. I already tried setting the foreground/background colors and nothing works.
