I'm having problems with keyboard input using olwm. It works fine for a while and then it will do a number of different things, switch to upper case, start printing control codes, only print one character, lock up entirely, I can't work out what's causing this, any ideas??? Also, I can't get xdm to work. If I start xdm form /etc/rc.local then shortly after login the keyboard locks up completely. I suspect somethings grabbing the keyboard but I can't work out this either. Finally, the default menu with olwm starts non-login exterms so .login doesn't get run and therefore stty doesn't set the delete character. It would be nice if this could be changed. Why doesn't the backspace key work in xterms? -- Paul Richards at Cardiff university, UK. spedpr@uk.ac.cf.thor Internet: spedpr%thor.cf.ac.uk@nsfnet-relay.ac.uk UUCP: spedpr@cf-thor.UUCP or ...!uunet!mcsun!uknet!cf!thor!spedpr +++
