Also, I guess there is a problem in the generated output file from kpoints.x. Because, there are entries whose absolute values are more than one, viz., -1.1250000, -1.375000. I can not bi;eave the values generated by kpoints.x. plz help. Also, the output file I got from kpoints.x, there are two more columns except for coordinate points. What is the meaning of them? Can I copy paste the whole file for in 'scf' calculation or need to do some modification? plz help. got stuck without the answers..
