Version 3.3.18b was the last in the 3.x series. I wonder if that improved unicode support?

The reason that I did not use that version, is could not figure out how to fix the <home> and <end> keys. They did not move the cursor to beginning and end of a line.

No problem here:
Key labelled "Ende" moves cursor to end of line
Key labelled "Pos1" moves cursor to beginning of line
without any configuration, OOTB.

I did not use that script.
I have been using:

Result of latest experiment:

/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-gpudriver.conf must be and stay

Code: Select all

 Section "Device"
    Identifier "gma500_gfx"
    Driver     "modesetting"
    Option     "SWCursor"       "ON"
 EndSection 

for intel poulsbo graphics (gma500) running modesetting driver.

For intel i915 gpu it must stay unchanged or not exist, tested on my 2 boxes.

This was the first one I have compiled and checked (Menu items contain utf8).

Then compiled 3.3.17 because you named it in your blog.

Then compiled 5.2.10

The reason that I did not use that version, is could not figure out how to fix the <home> and <end> keys. They did not move the cursor to beginning and end of a line.

No problem here:
Key labelled "Ende" moves cursor to end of line
Key labelled "Pos1" moves cursor to beginning of line
without any configuration, OOTB.

That was using a standard external keyboard.
With my convertible Acer Aspire R3-131T I had to hold additionally Fn key (the key between Ctrl and window)
SOLVED?

There is: /usr/share/doc/mp-5/index.html
and I have found $HOME/.mprc

EDIT
.. and there is also a menu

BarryK wrote:I don't think that $HOME/.mprc works with the mp 5.x series, only the 3.x series.

But without X, Ctrl Alt F2, (we do need it in console mode for configuring X) I get:
Code:
mp-5
No usable driver found: exiting.

mp: This editor in this package can use terminal or gtk.
