I have updated my Slink machine to use the XFree86 3.3.6 packages available from Vincent's XFree86-update directory, and now the backspace key no longer works when using applications run in xterm. Specifically, if I run top in an xterm and type "u" to show only one users processes, I cannot use backspace to delete a typo. Also in dselect,I cannot use backspace to delete a typo when using search. I'm sure that this is one problem causing both. I'm also sure that there are more instances of this that I've not run into yet (it's only been ten minutes since the upgrade) How do I fix this?
I know that this has come up recently, but I've been unable to find the previous thread that a fix for this was posted to. If someone could point me to the previous thread about this, and to the appropriate docs, I would be greatly appreciative. -ptw
