I think resource settings "reside" in the X server at run-time, so you could try manually adding those particular ones like so, (with queries before and after for testing), $ xrdb -query $ xrdb -merge ~/.gv $ xrdb -query Then run gv again. If it works, maybe you could add it to your X startup, however that works on your $DISTRO+$DESKTOP+etc... In the past I've also used ggv, which is gnome-ified gv. -Jamie

FW: gv & resource file in ubuntu feisty fox

by Bill Mills-Curran

I've searched and have not found the answer to this issue. gv in the Ubuntu feisty fox distro does not seem to observe the resource file. In particular the auto-refresh and reverse scroll do not work. My resource file is ~/.gv and contains: GV.reverseScrolling: TRUE GV.watchFile: TRUE GV.autoResize: FALSE This did work on Red Hat FC4, but the same file does not work in Ubuntu. Am I doing something wrong or have I found a bug? TIA, Bill

How much is interchangeable between the 4M and 4MP? I know that my printer doesn't have anywhere for a JetDirect card: it's got a parallel, AppleTalk, and serial port at one edge on the back, and on the side, it's got two (empty) memory slots...
