Description of Problem: when you select simplified chinese and log in through gdm, you are still unable to input chinese. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.0.2 How Reproducible: Every Time Steps to Reproduce: 1. slect simplifed chinese at gdm login screen 2. log in 3. start up a terminal, hit ctrl-space and no entry window comes up as it should. Actual Results:I did a ps auwx | grep chinput iakka 7406 0.6 0.0 0 0 ? Z 12:37 0:00 [chinput <defunct>] diakka 7450 0.0 1.2 6460 3308 ? S 12:37 0:00 chinput pstree shows the following: init-+-artsd |-atd |-chinput |-crond |-cserver |-deskguide_apple |-dhcpcd |-gconfd-1 |-gdm---gdm-+-X | `-gnome-session-+-Xsession | `-chinput also, if i kill the chinput process that is apparently still alive according to ps, then restart chinput from the command line, all future windows I bring up, will be able to bring up the chinese entry window when I press ctrl-space. If I don't kill chinput before starting a new one, X sort of locks up. no windows/gnome-panel respond. only the window manager seems to still be functional at this point. Expected Results: I expected the chinese input window to pop up when i hit ctrl-space Additional Information: I'm using a Matrox Millenium (MGA 2064W), which does not use an XFree86 v4.x X server. On my other machine, an athlon 1.2Mhz with a voodoo 3, chinput seems to work just fine.
Commenting out of the last 4 lines of /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/xinput will fix the problem. This file belongs to xinitrc-3.20-1. llch will put a patch through soon. #if which $XIM_PROGRAM >/dev/null 2>&1 ; then # echo -n "XIM DEBUG: " # $XIM_PROGRAM $XIM_ARGS& #fi
