Does anybody know of a good explanation (tutorial, howto's,...) about localisation problems under linux/redhat? Cyr I have problem with french caracter (é,à,è). I can't display them in xterm. Some people said to me that it was a locale problem but it only resolute my problem to dis

Hi, Oh yeah, I also have this behaviour. I even bought more RAM because of that :-). The process in cause was one of the children of the X process. But I don't think it really consumme all this memory. It looks for me more as a shared memory pool. Does anybody here has more information? Cyr

With RH8.0 I use the modem_light_applet which works just fine. I don't think that the "case case" (Uppercase vs LowerCase) could be the problem since I think "Name" parameters are just used for display only. I'm very new to RH 8.0. I'm just now stepped up from the install list to RH list.
