888 | =head3 I have problems getting my input method working. |

890 | Try a search engine, as this is slightly different for every input method server. |

896 | =item - Make sure your locale I<and> the imLocale are supported on your OS. |
|
|
897 | |
|
|
898 | Try C<locale -a> or check the documentation for your OS. |
|
|
899 | |
|
|
900 | =item - Make sure your locale or imLocale matches a locale supported by your XIM. |
|
|
901 | |
|
|
902 | For example, B<kinput2> does not support UTF-8 locales, you should use |
|
|
903 | C<ja_JP.EUC-JP> or equivalent. |
|
|
904 | |
|
|
905 | =item - Make sure your XIM server is actually running. |
|
|
906 | |
|
|
907 | =item - Make sure the C<XMODIFIERS> environment variable is set correctly when I<starting> rxvt-unicode. |
|
|
908 | |
|
|
909 | When you want to use e.g. B<kinput2>, it must be set to |
|
|
910 | C<@im=kinput2>. For B<scim>, use C<@im=SCIM>. Youc an see what input |
|
|
911 | method servers are running with this command: |
