I have just used the ports collection to upgrade stable with xfreee 3.3.5. Xfree runs fine but as a result the backspace and delete keys are messed up in some x apps. Motif apps (Netscape, nedit) work fine with expected behavior but xterms and rxvts each exhibit different symptoms. Could someone point me at some documentation which describes how X handles keys and how termcap/terminfo should be setup? The "The Complete FreeBSD" or the handbook have no mention of how this actually works. I have noted that for the console has erase = ^H and an xterm has erase = ^?. Doing 'stty erase ^H' does help but not for the case of rxvt. Does this indicate that the terminfo/termcap files were not setup correctly by the xfree installation.? regards, --Carl To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
