Re: preliminary support for keymapping in x5250 -- LINUX5250

James Rich wrote:

Key mappings are set as X resources just like every other component of x5250. The following resource setting in ~/.Xdefaults will make the 'enter' key be both the right control key and the regular enter key:
X5250*Enterkey            : 0xFFE4 0xFF0D
The following will make the field exit key be the enter key on the 10-key keypad:

X5250*Fieldexitkey : 0xFF8D

I don't have a .Xdefaults file, so I modified the X5250 file before installation (thus making my version the one in /usr/local/share/x5250/)

I like my keyboard to match a dumb terminal as much as possible so I don't have to relearn if I go use a real 3487. I edited those two lines but didn't get it to work.

X5250*Enterkey                  : 0xFFE4
X5250*Fieldexitkey              : 0xFF0D 0xFF8D

My post was just going to be "it doesn't work" until I went to copy the above lines and realized my file had an exclamation point at the beginning of each...

Now I get "Segmentation fault" if I run x5250.

I don't know what the best thing to do is, but I ran my same command preceded by strace and got the following as the last line:

open("/home/sporter/.Xdefaults-localhost.localdomain", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

That may not be related, though.

$ tn5250 -version
tn5250 0.17.3
$ x5250 -v
x5250 version:  0.5.0

Any suggestions on what I should try next?
