Hi, I try to input Chinese under non-asian locale, followed the FC5 release > mkdir ~/.xinput.d > ln -s /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/scim ~/.xinput.d/default and my installed scim packages are: > [zhuhx@zhu_fedora ~]$ rpm -qa |grep scim > scim-1.4.4-9 > scim-tables-chinese-0.5.6-3 > scim-pinyin-0.5.91-4.3 > scim-qtimm-0.9.4-2.1.1 > scim-tables-0.5.6-3 > scim-libs-1.4.4-9 > scim-chewing-0.2.1-5.1 > [zhuhx@zhu_fedora ~]$ After I logout X and login again, there is a grey keyboard in the notification area of the desktop panel, BUT i can't activate it. (using CTRL+SPACE and other key combinations) After I set LANG LC_ALL LC_CTYPE to zh_CN.GB18030, I can activate IME, but the inputed string are not chinese, only gabage string letters. After I set LANG LC_ALL LC_CTYPE to zh_CN.GB2312 in .bashrc, logout and login again, under Chinese locale, SCIM works. (can activate and input chinese) So, although I can input Chinese now under Chinese locale, I still hope to input Chinese under english locale. I can do it in my home PC. don't know what caused the difference. Thanks Houxiang
