Has anyone found a way to get Emacs working in Mandrake so that you can copy and paste text into Mozilla? I end up pasting text between the two quite a lot because I run an anti-spam site that tracks spamware web pages. Not being able to paste from Emacs to Mozilla is a real problem. I've tried running up Xemacs and I can paste from it but unfortunately it not only doesn't understand some of my .emacs settings (e.g. set-background-color) it deletes the bloody file when it starts up! I'm running Mozilla 1.5 and Emacs 21.3.1 on Mandrake 9.1 -- sapient.fridge@spamsites.org ICQ #17887309 * Save the net * Grok: http://spam.abuse.net http://www.cauce.org * kill a spamhaus * Find: http://www.samspade.org http://www.netdemon.net * today * Kill: http://spamsites.org http://spews.org http://spamhaus.org

I built emacs from source on MDK 9.1 and it copies and pastes just fine. Granted, I have a 2.4 GHz and 512MB of RAM, but compiling emacs only took about 1 minute. It seems to be mostly elisp.

I run Emacs 21.3 on Mandrake 9.0. Don't know which Mozilla version, maybe 1.4. I use M-w (kill-ring-save) and it works even if I start using "emacs -q" to exclude any stuff I might have in my .emacs. After that I navigate to Mozilla and use middle mouse button to paste. Don't remember if C-v works. /Mathias

The middle mouse button has no effect for me, interestingly I can cut from one EMACS and yank the text into another using the keyboard so it's putting the text into the clipboard no problem. This only works between EMACS's though, it doesn't work for Mozilla. Interestingly enough the middle mouse button doesn't appear to do anything in *any* of the Linux applications and the wheel has no effect. I know it works though because I've got it plugged into a kvm switch box and it works fine in windows. Is there something I have to do to enable the middle mouse button in Mandrake? The mouse is a Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer 3. -- sapient.fridge@spamsites.org ICQ #17887309 * Save the net * Grok: http://spam.abuse.net http://www.cauce.org * kill a spamhaus * Find: http://www.samspade.org http://www.netdemon.net * today * Kill: http://spamsites.org http://spews.org http://spamhaus.org
