I think this is _locale_ problem. When you are in xterm, try switch keyboard layout (try both Shift keys, CapsLock etc.) Also, go to console (Ctrl_Alt+F1) and login in text mode. Then check your shell startup scripts (~/.cshrc ~/.login ~/.profile etc) aand comment out all locale specific stuff (like setting LANG variable) If there are no LANG in your startup scripts, then _add_ 'setenv LANG C' (without quotes) or Bourne shell equivalent (export LANG=C) to startup script. Try xterm again. -- Igor Roboul, Unix System Administrator & Programmer @ sanatorium "Raduga" http://www.brainbench.com/transcript.jsp?pid=304744 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
