I think it means that the default locale applies, which is about the same as us english with us ascii. You need to change that to something else. Try, for example, to run an xterm with LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO-8859-1, like this: export LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO-8859-1 xterm Try also en_US.UTF-8 (this is what I use). -- Antonios Christofides +30-2661020814 _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list XFree86@xxxxxxxxxxx http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
