Hi, I'm a new Gentoo user (I installed it last weekend), and I'm having a weird problem with Xemacs... When I load it under X, it takes over a minute to come up (I'm running on an 1.1GHz Athlon with 256MB). If I run it from the console, it comes up with no noticeable delay.
I have the same problem with Mozilla, and I found some references here... but not for Xemacs..

As a side note, I have a RH 7.2 on the same system, and Xemacs works ok there... (I don't think it is the same version, anyway)

Any ideas?

Thanx!
Martin

Perhaps your X setup is not set up properly. Have you tried:


XFree86 -configure

Afterwards, take a look at the config. file it produces and see if everythingseems OK. Then try running X and xemacs...

I tried using the config file it created, but got the same results...
X seems to be ok, though...
IHere's my config (modified from my RH one):

Code:
