They couldn't be more different I think ;) A G3 powerbook, keyboard internally wired as ADB hardware. A nameless standard PC, keyboard type unknown but looks standard. I can look it up when I am in that office again, which will happen in two days. Furthermore, only one of the machines has been maintained by me (the powerbook). (I happily admit that I tend to break all kinds of funny assumptions that X or other folks make.) I don't believe in hardware error therefore. On the PC, mls was logged in. It might be useful to try with a different user being logged in there.

The one is what was seen by Michael in xterm, caused by the locale not being set by KDM at start time, so xterm was not running in UTF8. This was probably caused by a old .xsession File. (The home having been updated since 7.2 or so.) The bug doesn't occur for a newly created user. The other bug is the one that I have been seeing. I was using gpm to cut and paste German umlauts inside vim. Locale is set for me, and gpm seems to be the thing in between which is broken / misacting. Now, the symptom of both bugs was the same: that you need multiple key presses to get a character on screen. This is presumably a funny workaround in vim for brokan locale settings. In a shell, for example, you'll get a character instantaneously (UTF8-replacement character!). Thus, the X problem is probably solved or not relevant, but the gpm (kernel?) bug remains. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

In tty: I selected German keyboard in yast. I set locales to "de_DE.UTF8" I run "gpm -m /dev/psaux -t ps2" I opened vi and wrote "ä" and "ö". Everything allright, I need only one press to write the umlaut. I also tried "en_GB.UTF-8" locale without any problem. I noticed that I failed to copy german umlauts with gpm in vim and also shell. But this is another bug. Please, could you write more information to reproduce the bug? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

I doubt that the shell navigation bugs are the same bug, though. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

In essence, shells can have their own problems, like zsh. It's probably wise to test with 'cat' instead. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
