Display UTF-8 character under C localeExecute the following command under LilyTerm:
Launch LilyTerm under a chroot jail
bind "set convert-meta off"
bind "set output-meta on"
And use the right click menu to set the text encoding to "
UTF-8".Extract xauth info to a file (under X):
<Ctrl><S> and <Ctrl><Q> don't work under VIM:
xauth extract /PathToChroot/tmp/display $DISPLAY
Mount the devpts device and /tmp (may not necessary) before chroot
into a chroot jail:
mount /dev/pts /PathToChroot/dev/pts -t devpts
mount -o bind /tmp /PathToChroot/tmp (may not necessary)
Merge the extracted xauth info and set the DISPLAY environ after
chroot into the chroot jail:
xauth merge /tmp/display
export DISPLAY=:0
Launch LilyTerm directly, or run it under Xnest/Xephyr:
xinit ~/.xinitrc -- /usr/bin/Xnest :1 -ac -geometry
800x600
or
xinit ~/.xinitrc -- /usr/bin/Xephyr :1 -ac -screen
800x600
Use the following command to turn off
'flow-Control' under LilyTerm:
BSD Users:
stty raw
or
stty -ixon
Please mount the procfs before launch LilyTerm:
mount -t procfs procfs /proc
