Here is the complete error message after I installed the newest xfree86 using Xinstall.sh.
(gedit:1304): Gdk-WARNING **: locale not supported by Xlib (gedit:1304): Gdk-WARNING **: can not set locale modifiers (gedit:1304): Gtk-WARNING **: Loading IM context type 'xim' failed I tried to input Chinese characters but failed. However the menu's in many applications seem to be fine with Chinese characters except in evolution and openoffice. But now at least my laptop dell 2600 with i830M is working!!!:) Thanks for everybody's help. _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
