Interesting. This test really doesn't show me any differences, but it does

thanks for this thread. I had the same problem! And had it before, too.
It really seems to be a never ending story. :-(

Hey,
A few months ago I noticed that _something_ had changed on my Debian

would expect.

Thank you

Hi all,
My backspace key stopped working in X for some odd reason. The
Delete key works fine, but the Backspace key does nothing when I press
it. I tried several programs, and it doesn't work in any of them. Any

Hello everyone,
OK, I checked out the manpage for xmodmap and figured out how to get my

Hello everyone,
Hopefully this will be an easy one. I just installed the lbreakout game
from unstable. It updated a couple of X packages enroute. They didn't
look like they were anything critical so I let it go ahead and do it.
But now I've discovered a problem, my backspace key
o the backspace key working the way it should.
So I guess I need to remap ^H to the backspace key and I
don't know how to do that.
Currently I'm using windows but if the exact keycode
is needed then I'll post it.
Any and all advice appreciated,

Hi AJ,
Why not try changing your terminal type to something like vt100 with the
command:
TERM=vt100
Also find out what the current value for TERM is before changing its
value.
echo $TERM
AEleen Frisch in her book describes a fix for a corrupted back space key
if it is showing either ^h or ^?

Hi,
There have been previous discussions on this topic but I never quite

My backspace key has suddenly stopped working in X.
Now it acts like a [Delete] Key.
This happened when my KBD package died along with my /usr/loal/
directory, but did not recover when I reinstalled KBD.
Any ideas how to fix this?
Thanks,
Timothy
