I'm not sure how much information to give here. Two machines, one installed from a 4.6-rc2 CD the other from a 4.7 release CD. Both updated in the last day, so uname -a gives the same output. Different hardware. The problem one is a Dell Dimension.
I use Japanese and have always been able to make it work by simply calling a script that I call langx--so if I go langx rxvt an rxvt terminal opens and I can input Japanese. The script goes simply XMODIFIERS='@im=kinput2 LANG=ja_JP.EUC ${1+"@$"} & This enables me to, for example, open an rxvt terminal and then input Japanese. On the problem machine, it doesn't work. On that one, I have to specify XMODIFIERS in my .Xdefaults. I mention that in case it's a symptom. The bigger problem is that if I have an entry in .Xdefaults Xterm*termName: rxvt then if I call mutt from a terminal it doesn't work--it opens mutt but keystrokes don't do anything--that is, I can't switch mailboxes, I can't even do m for mail. The Japanese mentioned above doesn't seem to be a factor, since, when I removed all mention of it, I had the same problem. I've tried in both my usual Window Manager, Fluxbox and a vanilla twm. I've done various other tests, commenting out each line in .Xdefaults. If I try XTerm*termName: xterm then mutt works without problem, but no colors. If I try : XTerm*termName: xterm-color Again, I have the same problem. I've tried comparing the /etc/termcap entries for the two boxes but don't see anything different, though I did it by eye, just looking at rxvt entries, so I may have missed something. If I don't specify a termName then echo $TERM gives me kterm another terminal that can input Japanese, (but isn't on either box). I've been googling and reading various man pages (term, rxvt, etc) and I can't figure out what I'm missing here. Sorry for the length of this, but trying to indicate what I've tested. The problem is only on the Dell Machine. I've used this setup on a variety of machines in the last year or so and never had this problem. It's a nuisance rather than a major thing--it just means that I can't have colors in mutt while running X (I get my colors in console) TIA -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 D575 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6 Cordelia: What's going on?
