Re: Emacs-23.1.90.1 on Slackware14.
Hi,
When I open Emacs-23.1.90.1 in a base Linux console or in a X11 xterm
terminal, Emacs doen't respond to whatever I type. After Emacs is killed, all
the characters I typed appear in the console/terminal.
I have seen one prior reference to this problem on the net but it did not
provide any clue as to how to solve this issue. It just mentioned a link with
Gtk.
This occurs following a system upgrade to Slackware14 64bit. I guess this
problem comes from the new Gtk libraries that come with the update. The
version of Emacs coming with the new Slackware14 works in a terminal but does
not work with SCIM and I can't use Emacs to type Chinese characters this way
(I understand it works with ibus with some setup). SCIM works fine in xterm
and Thunderbird/Firefox.
Emacs-23.1.90.1 has worked well for me for a long time and it used to work
both in terminals and with SCIM on X11, so I compiled Emacs-23.1.90.1 for
x86_64 and it works fine with SCIM under the new Slackware. Unfortunately,
but it does not work at all in a terminal.
So I am looking for a workaround that would allow Emacs-23.1.90.1 to work on a
terminal under the new system. Does someone has some clue as to why
Emacs-23.1.90.1 can't get keyboard input in this new setting?
Thanks
