That sequence is normally used to terminate the X server. When this option is enabled, that key sequence has no special meaning and is passed to clients. Default: off. So setting that to "on", "true" or "yes" should do it. -- Angelina Carlton -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

backspace in X
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 heya fellow lovers of Debian I recently started going through my woody installation deleting packages that I figured I didn't need in order to create more free disk space. Now (it SEEMS related cuz this happened pretty much straight after) my backspace doesn't work correctly in X. The stupid thing deletes the character to the right of the cursor rather than the left in all applications. My virtual terminals still work ok though, it only affects X. Can anybody tell me what package I've possibly removed which may have caused this? or is there a bug in one of the recent packages known to cause this problem? (I upgraded everything on my system shortly before doing my purge spree). thankskieses ppl! - -- from da Bobstopper (Public Key available at http://www.student.uwa.edu.au/~rmarlow/bobstopper.gpg) -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.0.3 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE5zxtZ/dIi4WVxTXMRAoA3AJ0XQ/aHzzvETCR5xs/Lo+m2ye18YQCg7I4X zsEKNxW6V3XvhVX0Gh98Un8= =gMZC -END PGP SIGNATURE-

Re: No Backspace in X
Try adding the following line to /etc/X11/Xmodmap keycode 22 = BackSpace and restart X. This might help if you are not using the XKEYBOARD extension.

I had this same problem, even after upgrading to 2.0.
However, I was able to get it to work. I don't remember *exactly* what
I had to change, but I *do* remember which parts of what files needed
review. Check /etc/inputrc and /etc/X11/Xresources:
# /etc/inputrc - global inputrc for libreadline
# See readline(3readline) and `info readline' for more information.
#
[...]
#
# Make the Home, End, and Delete keys work on common terminals.
$if term=linux
"\e[1~": beginning-of-line
"\e[3~": delete-char
"\e[4~": end-of-line
$endif
$if term=rxvt
"\e[1~": beginning-of-line
"\e[3~": delete-char
"\e[4~": end-of-line
$endif
$if term=xterm
"\e[1~": beginning-of-line
"\e[3~": delete-char
"\e[4~": end-of-line
$endif
! /etc/X11/Xresources
!
! global Xresources file -- used by both xdm and xinit (startx)
[...]
! Make the backspace key generate ^? instead of ^H, per Debian keyboard
! policy.
*VT100*backarrowKey: false
!
! Make the delete key generate ^[[3~ instead of ^?, per Debian keyboard
! policy; this also makes the Home and End keys produce the same character
! sequences as they do in the virtual console.
*VT100.Translations: #override Delete: string("\033[3~")\n\
Home: string("\033[1~")\n\
End: string("\033[4~")
! The function keys still need to be dealt with.

You shouldn't have to do this, it might indicate something else is wrong with your system/setup. What output do you get from the following commands? stty -a echo $TERM dpkg -l ncurses-base
Re: No Backspace in X
I had a similar problem (only in netscape). I installed xkeycaps and defined backspace there, which fixed it.

Hi, edit /etc/X11/Xmodmap and put something like this: keycode 22 = BackSpace keycode 107 = Delete You are using Debian 1.3?

No Backspace in X
I am having trouble with my backspace key in X. It acts as the delete key rather than the backspace, deleting characters after the cursor rather than backspacing over them. This only occurs in X apps, not in the xterm windows. For example Netscape, XPaint, etc... Anyone know how to fix this problem. Everything is set to default as far as I can see. I have noticed that every once in a great while, the backspace works properly but not often.
