The guys confirmed this (sort of). But the next release compiles and runs well. Put it plainly: R (1.2) runs on the Hurd! (at a reasonable speed) Zsombor

Keyboard in X

2000-11-03 Thread Zsombor Cseres-Gergely
Hi, I try to migrate my daily work to the Hurd, but I am having problems with X (3.???). rxvt runs better than xterm, but I still can not use my alt keys, neither of them. However, in emacs, I can do a ^ESC-x to type commands, but it is a bit tedious. Here is the relevant part from my XF86Config,

Palm with the Hurd

Hi, I also wanted to join the "hurray, X works for me as well" and more. The main advantage of X for me would be the ability to use latin-2 fonts. (At least I could _use_ the Hurd, and test it that way...). Anyway: it works, the same problems as the others reported, but only those. On Sun, Sep 24
