Hello, I'm new on this list. Please excuse me if my posting is OT or deserves RTFM response. (yes, I know I should RTFM, I've done it. It didn't help. So I'm writing here)
The problem: I use Debian Woody (stable) (that's not the problem), and my Cyrillic does not work under X(that's the problem). Here come the details: I installed all locales that begin with bg_ (Bulgaria). And also some en_XY locales. Then I used set-language-env (or something like that) to specify that: 1. I use Bulgarian language 2. I use MS cp1251 etc... (all the questions asked by the script) then I used cyr to customize some settings for the console (the font, fontsize etc.). Under console the Cyrillic support works perfectly. Under X, however, I can't type a single letter in Cyrillic. I have installed the Cyrillic fonts (they work, I can read Cyrillic). I have .xcyrillic file, and it is executed. I can switch to Cyrillic input (I got LED indication), but when I type, no characters appear at all. 'xev' reports the (press and release) keycodes in Cyrillic mode as 0x06XY, and I think _that_ is the problem. The keys are mapped to Cyrillic using the char names: Cyrillic_en, Cyrillic_em and the like. So I get these big numbers 'xev' reported. I can easily fix this by replacing the constants in the keymap by the real codes (without the leading 0x06), but I don't think this is the right solution. My question is: What is the right solution? (How to fix this, without rebuilding keymaps, packages etc...) And one more thing: Could this be related to some module loaded by X? I have lots of modules loaded, and some of them may have messed with the input. Now I'm at work(under MSWIN), and I can't check my XF86Config-4 (which is at home), but I noticed that X loads some module with the suspicious name xim (or something like this) (Am I on a right track?)
