Hi,

I've installed cmucl-20e on my Gentoo system.
I have no idea to get into the graphics mode.
If I do

(require :clx)
(require :hemlock)
(ed)

The just opened X-window doesn't get focus such that I can't enter anything.

From the man page
Call INTERFACE:LISP-CONTROL-PANEL to create the  control  panel.   When                                                                                                      
       INTERFACE:*INTERFACE-STYLE*  is :GRAPHICS (the default) and the DISPLAY                                                                                                      
       environment variable is defined, the graphical inspector  and  debugger                                                                                                      
       will  be  invoked  by  INSPECT or when an error is signalled.  Possible                                                                                                      
       values are :GRAPHICS and :TTY.  If the value is :GRAPHICS, but there is
       no X display, then we quietly use the TTY interface.

How to do that?

I can't do
(INTERFACE:LISP-CONTROL-PANEL)

nor even
(require :interface)

So, I am missing a lot.

Many thanks for a hint,
Helmut

P.S.:
I am using sbcl, as well, and one of the reason for installing CMUCL was the
graphical interface. (I do have MOTIF installed here)
