Subject: [gentoo-user] xterm man page has broken link to X
Date: Mon, 22 Jun 2009 23:59:14 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <9acccfe50906222359m5ad20c64i947c54d3206394a0@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

I am exploring a few things about terminal programs, and am finding
their man pages hard going.  Just as an example, the xterm page
coverage of -geometry points to the man page for X(7), but no such
page exists on my system, and I can find no obvious package that might
supply it.

This raises the issue of how to find X docs.

My intent is casual; I don't have time to become expert in it, so I'm
hoping for fairly quick usage info.

Does such exist?
