Dear All, I've just swapped from using FreeBSD (6.4) to Debian (Lenny) and I'm having trouble getting my Vietnamese keyboard to work. I use xvnkb and have installed it after some hassles. For example, the core (xvnkb.so.0.2.9) is installed into /usr/lib, but the startup script seems to want it in /usr/local/lib - some soft links fixed this. Also, this library must be preloaded, but I use kdm so, where to put the LD_PRELOAD definition? I've put it into my own .xinitrc after much experimentation. Now xvnkb is loaded and the gui is active:
debian [21:39] ~>ps -ef | grep vn rob 3460 1 7 20:31 pts/0 00:04:58 xvnkb (running under my own user ID, not as root). This was started by: debian [21:41] ~>xvnkb & However, only the gui is active. I can select my desired input method (VIQR) and output (UTF-8), turn input recognition off, exit the program, etc, etc, but nothing happens when I type. The keyboard is totally ignored. My locale is: debian [21:43] ~>echo $LANG en_AU.UTF-8 (English, Australia) and has been configured correctly (I hope). Does anyone have any experience in this area? Thanks very much for any help. The system is: debian [21:44] ~>uname -a Linux debian 2.6.26-2-686 #1 SMP Thu May 28 15:39:35 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux Thank you, Rob Hurle -- ----------------------------- Rob Hurle Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies, ANU e-mail: rob1...@gmail.com Telephone (ANU): +61 2 6125 3169 Mobile (in VN): +84 948 243 538 (Currently in Australia) Mobile (in OZ): +61 417 293 603 (Currently in Australia) ----------------------------- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
