Re: [arch-general] unable to run emacs through VNC

I have arch running on a machine that I access through vnc.

I just installed and tried to run emacs on the arch machine in an xfce terminal window, but I get the following error:

$ emacs logcfg.dat Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display ":1.0". Undefined color: "black" $

Every other program I've tried (which admittedly is not many) has worked fine. What do I need to do to resolve this issue and run emacs?

About the "undefined color" thing: http://paste.xinu.at/7lZ/ xorg-rgb is unneeded by xorg, but VNC still uses it.
