Hi misc@ I want to be able to type non latin characters in xterm (Russian and Latvian). I sat down, read xterm manpage and tried playing with all the options which even remotely looked like they could influence something. But the only thing I managed to get working is xterm displaying UTF-8 correctly.
Here's my ~/.Xdefaults: XTerm*loginShell: true XTerm*useClipping: false XTerm*geometry: 119x38 XTerm*termName: xterm-xfree86 XTerm*scrollBar: false XTerm*rightScrollBar: true XTerm*colorMode: true XTerm*colorBDMode: false XTerm*boldColors: true XTerm*boldMode: true XTerm*cutNewline: false XTerm*cutToBeginningOfLine: false XTerm*trimSelection: true XTerm*internalBorder: 2 XTerm*Font: -*-terminus-medium-*-*-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-1 XTerm*Foreground: rgb:cc/cc/cc XTerm*Background: black XTerm*locale: false XTerm*utf8: 2 XTerm*deleteIsDEL: true XTerm*eightBitInput: true export LANG=en_US.UTF-8 export LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 export LC_NUMERIC=en_US.UTF-8 export LC_TIME=en_US.UTF-8 export LC_COLLATE=en_US.UTF-8 export LC_MONETARY=en_US.UTF-8 export LC_MESSAGES=en_US.UTF-8 export LC_PAPER=en_US.UTF-8 export LC_NAME=en_US.UTF-8 export LC_ADDRESS=en_US.UTF-8 export LC_TELEPHONE=en_US.UTF-8 export LC_MEASUREMENT=en_US.UTF-8 export LC_IDENTIFICATION=en_US.UTF-8 export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 xterm Didn't help too. The annoying thing is that when I start vim in xterm, I *can* type in any language with no problem. export LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_ALL Is it possible to enable non latin input in xterm somehow? --- And while I'm here, do you know of any video stream of some channel or something which mplayer (or something from ports) could play and where they'll show FIFA World Cup? My TV receives badly, with a lot of noise, so I thought that maybe even an internet stream could be better, plus I want commentaries in English.
