Hmm.. if I run OpenOffice, I get more (and rather odd) info: I18N: X Window System doesn't support locale "en_US" I18N: X Window System doesn't support locale "C" File /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/locale.alias is present, and looks ok to the best of my knowledge. So does file locale.dir. Directory /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/en_US.UTF-8 exists and contains: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 52948 Feb 12 16:51 Compose -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 345 Feb 12 16:49 XI18N_OBJS -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2072 Feb 12 16:49 XLC_LOCALE Directory /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/C exists and has similar files to the above, except that the Compose file is of size zero. However comparing against a working system, this appears to be normal. All the above dirs are readable by normal users. There's nothing odd in any of the /var/log files, eg /var/log/XFree86.0.log. I'm still completely puzzled. Regards, Simon _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list XFree86@xxxxxxxxxxx http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
