(HELP) X TERMINAL(busybox power) error
 
i recently updated my busybox power to busybox-power_1.20.2power1-thumb0_armel, while i wanted to change the font color i found the entry to change the value of scroll-lines which by default was 200 and i changed it to largest value something like 900000(what was i thinking never mind) as i remember, after saving it the xtreminal crashed and this is the screen error i get while i try to re-open it, i think may be the error was due to that input value i saved if anybody help me out how to revert the changes or any kind of help i will appreciatehttp://ubuntuone.com/5zgZgwMexdl1ueU0Y2wayD

Have you tried changing it back to something sane like 2000?

There's a gui app called "gconf-editor" that I think is in extras-devel, that you can use to edit the X window settings. You can find the X-window settings under "apps"->"osso"->"xterm". Lots of other interesting settings in there too, but yeah, caution is important here. :)

you need to somehow manage to run:

gconftool -s /apps/osso/xterm/scrollback -t int 200
(I have 200 as default)

You could use filebox to patch some startup script (not in /sbin/preinit), but there must be a suitable place for that..
