When I start nxterm and switch keyboard into the Cyrillic mode (I am using Xkb, it generate Cyrillic_* keysyms) and start typing, rxvt would not react (as if nothing is typed). When xterm, Netscape or gvim is started from the same shell, cyrillics works fine. I had the same problem in RedHat 5.1 In RH 5.2 I checked it with the following setup: glibc-2.0.7-29 xterm-color-1.1-9 XFree86-libs-3.3.2.3-25 XFree86-3.3.3-1 XFree86-SVGA-3.3.3-1 P.S. rxvt has the same problem (bug report #828) and as a result, I can only use xterm.
The problem still exists when using XFree*3.3.3.1-1
I was able to fix this problem in xterm-color-1.1-10 (from RawHide) by applying the following patch: --- xterm-sb_right-ansi-3d/main.c.locale Mon Mar 22 17:10:46 1999 +++ xterm-sb_right-ansi-3d/main.c Mon Mar 22 17:11:06 1999 @@ -934,7 +934,7 @@ int xerror(), xioerror(); #ifdef I18N - setlocale(LC_ALL, NULL); + setlocale(LC_ALL, ""); #endif ProgramName = argv[0]; (I will send the patch by e-mail too.) ------- Email Received From Alexey Nogin <ayn2> 03/22/99 17:21 -------
color-xterm/nxterm is being obsoleted in Red Hat linux 6.0 by xterm, which now does color just fine.
