SLIME is CVS from Nov 19 2005 Lisp is ubuntu CLISP 2.35-2 running on x86 emacs is emacs21 21.4a-1ubuntu1
first of all:
the symbol i test it on is 'defpackage'
i have (slime-setup :autodoc t) in my .emacs
C-h k says that SPC is bound to slime-space
(slime-busy-p) => nil
slime-reset doesn`t help
running slime-insert-arglist on the symbol produces: "Arglist not available
adding (add-hook 'inferior-lisp-mode-hook (defun my-inferior-lisp-mode-hook () (add-to-list (make-local-variable 'comint-output-filter-functions) (lambda (string) (unless (get-buffer-window (current-buffer) t) (display-buffer (current-buffer) t)) (comint-postoutput-scroll-to-bottom string))))) into my .emacs, to popup the *inferior-lisp* buffer, doesn`t pop up anything when i press SPC

Let's call this a CLISP shortcoming. With e.g. CMUCL, I can enter
cl-user> (defpackage<SPACE>
in the SLIME repl and "(defpackage package &rest options)" gets displayed in the echo area.
SLIME displays only what the Lisp implementation provides and slime-space doesn't display anything if the Lisp implementation doesn't provide anything. E.g. with CLISP
cl-user> (defun foo (a b c) (+ a b c)) foo cl-user> (foo<SPACE>
Emacs displays "(foo a b c)" but for 'cons only "(cons arg0 arg1)" and nothing for 'defpackage.
