From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.1) Gecko/20031008 Description of problem: In Red Hat Linux 9 the keyboard-coding-system defaulted to utf-8. Current rawhide has 'nil'. The effect is that for example German umlauts get mapped to M-c and other control sequences when calling emacs in an xterm. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emacs -nw -q 2.Try to type umlauts -> Control sequences 3.M-x set-keyboard-coding-system -> utf-8 4.Try to type umlauts -> works Additional info: The workaround is easy: (set-keyboard-coding-system 'utf-8) in .emacs.el Also graphical emacs is fine even with keyboard-coding-system == 'nil'.
