Hello,

I am wondering if anybody is experiencing the same problems I have with 
my SL-C860 after switching to Angstrom.  I tried to investigate them, 
but with little or no luck so far...

First, the key combination with Alt do not work.  I checked out 
/etc/matchbox/kbdconfig and it looks ok; for example, it contains

<Alt>n=next
<Alt>p=prev

but the given combinations do not work - neither does any of the other, 
and neither does my beloved Alt-Tab to switch sessions.  Anyway, 
Ctrl-Alt_backspace works - that is, it restarts gpe-dm.  But that may be 
a different beast, mayn't it?...

Second, the input of latin1 characters blocks somewhere, and I don't 
understand where - probably in a couple of places.  One place is 
definitely busybox's sh, since, if I switch to dash, latin1 input works 
through ssh, but not in rxvt (that is, rxvt-unicode, which is the 
default terminal emulator provided).  On the other hand, latin1 input 
also works in gpe-edit (I'd have tried a terminal emulator, but the ones 
readily available did not seem apt to the scope).  Of course I tried to 
install what seemed to be the relevant locales (glibc-localedata-it-* 
and glibc-binary-localedata-it-*, I understood the former is not needed 
after installation), and to set LC_CTYPE=it_IT in /etc/profile, but 
nothing changed.  I did many other attempts, which I won't report, 
hoping a shorter message will get more attention...

Did anybody else get as frustrated as I am on this issue? Or maybe I'm 
the only one who needs vim+latin1 in Angstrom (it may very well be the 
case...)

FMS
