Phew! You're a life saver! Now I can emacs in peace without scrolling
around!

I'm still looking into the X Font problem as I opened up
/etc/X11/fs/config and edited some stuff, but still nothing. I thought
it was something rotten in Emacs, but seems like Debian is way to
standardizes for the likes of me :^)

I really can't believe I like best Slackware! Unfortunatly, Slackware
lacks apt and building everything from source can be a hazardous task.

BTW, thanks Ulrich Herbs for the xmodmap line. That was just what I
needed!
