Hi Lawrence, I tried this shortly after I got your message and more extensively today. >Yes, there is a debug flag available. > >1) service IIim stop OR kill all htt and htt_server processes >2) Depending where the htt executable is (could be /usr/lib/im/ or >/usr/bin), manually start htt with debug flag by typing > /usr/bin/htt -d > >You be able to see the debug message from here. /usr/lib/im/htt -d created this process: htt_server -nodaemon -d However, nothing came up in at terminal or in /var/log/messages The gedit test still didn't yield any input. I ran: LANG=zh_TW.UTF-8 GTK_IM_MODULE=iiim gedit I'm using Gnome on FC1. I haven't tried anything other than xcin. Unfortunately, my time has been a bit limited lately. Maybe FC2 test2 IIimf works out of the box? > >Does other LE work for you? or it is just xcin that is causing the >problem? Also, if you are using GNOME, did you set the >GTK_IM_MODULE=iiim or if your are KDE, did you use httx? > > >Thanks, >Lawrence -- Martin J. Hsu hsum(at)ematters.com.tw
