Yes, sorry, I meant the virtual console terminals. X is not running.
I configured a login type "text", not "graphical", when I installed my
RH9, so when I first login I'm in one of these virtual consoles,
before eventually calling "startx" ; that's where I would like to use
emacs, to hack on DirectFB for example.
So the problem has been narrowed down to a difference between this
virtual console and an xterm : typing Alt + "<" yields ESC < in both
cases, but typing Alt + Shift + ">" yields ESC > inside the xterm, but
nothing at all (not a single character) in the virtual console.
So emacs works fine in the xterm but becomes unusable in the console.
Any idea where I can fix this ?
Thanks,
Joao
