The xorg server does not remap the arrow keys by default. However, if you have misconfigured your keyboard, then you might not use your arrow keys. Try to look at the documentation of xmodmap(1). If you are not sure how to change this in xorg.conf, you can first try to download an xmodmap file for your keyboard layout, and execute this command: xmodmap <filename> Then you can try to use your arrow keys. Another problem might be that you are using the wrong TERM environment variable inside your xterm. Well, this is very unlikely. You can also try this: setenv TERM xterm-color # c shell set TERM=xterm-color # bash shell export TERM I hope this will help. Best, Laszlo
