simply couldnt get any text to enter into the inpt box. I tried several WM's
and various tricks to make the chat window definately in focus. Nothing
made it work.
I just tried using GFtp aswell, and the same problem occurs on the
password input box but not on any other of the text input boxes. Which
leads me to believe that this maybe related to authenticated inputs or
something.
Does anyone have any ideas?
My latest CVS builds are doing something funny with text input too.
A couple of tk/tcl/wish clients aren't accepting keyboard input
into text boxes. At least one of these wish scripts works if run
on the same display, but from a remote machine with a different
version of X and wish, which leads me to suspect a problem in
the X client libraries.
% ldd /usr/bin/wish
libtk8.0.so = /usr/lib/libtk8.0.so (0x4001c000)
libtcl8.0.so = /usr/lib/libtcl8.0.so (0x400ba000)
libX11.so.6 = /usr/X11R6-v4/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x4011e000)

tkdiff (another wish script) and ical (another tcl/tk application)
are both happy to accept keystokes to control the program
('q' to quit for tkdiff, and ctrl-key sequences to cut/copy/paste
items in ical) but wont allow keystrokes to enter text.

How did you disable XKEYBOARD extensions if different to how I did? No that's what I did, so I guess we have different problems :( Bye Manu pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

According to the XF86Config man page (of 4.3.0), this option should go in the ServerFlags section, which is where I have successfully used it before. You might want to try putting it in there. Yes I tried placing the option in both serverflags and in the keyboard section I tried passing booleans such as true false disable enable aswell and did not notice and difference in performance. I checked the log files just now aswell and found these two lines (**) Option XkbDisable (**) Xkb disabled So I would assume that it was disabled. ___ Devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel
