William Xue,
   do you get this problem when you open up a new cpp file?   e.g.

$ emacs new-file.cpp

Yes, the message is in *Messages* buffer. ---8<--------------------------------------------->8--- (emacs test.cpp) Loading disp-table...done Loading encoded-kb...done Loading autorevert...done Loading completion...done Loading edmacro...done For information about the GNU Project and its goals, type C-h C-p.

Your are right you don't need X-windows. Emacs will detect if its in an X-win or not and choose the console interface if not.

Maybe try to:
   (1) reinstall it

I tried. The same problem.


(2) uninstall and try the 21.12.13 or previous version

Yes, it covered the issue. But some functions are missing in those versions.
Like, next-buffer.


   (3)  try building it from scratch.  The autoconfig
       and other tools will configure it for your system. etc...
    configure using the " --without-x" if you don't want
   it to handle x-windows at all..

   (4) if you were going to do this (build from source) you might as
well try the latest emacs


I have downloaded the sourcecodes from cvs(both emacs22 and emacs-unicode-2),
but the build effort was failed. I used following steps:


./configure
make bootstrap

P.S.  Since I am using GNU Emacs 22.0.50.1, built from cvs, I can't
duplicate your environment.  Sorry.

at least -nw was not useful.

About the manual, C-h f could not find the x-popup-menu.

Could you show me something in detail?
