I have another question. Now, I realized that with this vm I compile by myself, It doesn't work the "^". I mean, I press AltGr + ^ (the same key where de "[" and the "{" is )  and I get a "?".

However, if I use the vm I install trough apt-get it works ok.

I am using Ubuntu 8.04, my keyboard is Latin American.

Can this be something related with UTF-8 ???

how can I fix this in the vm I compile ?

many thanks,

mariano

Bert: I have done exactly what you said in other mail:

$ svn co http://squeakvm.org/svn/squeak/branches/olpc squeak-vm
$ cd squeak-vm/platforms/unix
$ make
$ sudo make install

... which installs in /usr/local


And works perfect!!!

However, I have a question. In the link I see this VM is under "olpc". Is this correct?

Yes. The OLPC "XO" laptop is a regular Linux machine so that VM works fine on any Linux. There is only one OLPC-specific change in there, the rest is bug fixes and improvements. All of this will be merged back to the main VM when time permits.

Usually the VM / OS ignores the alpha channel of the display. But with composite window managers on Linux, it is honored, and the bug is exposed.


This is a VM problem and has a fix, as already discussed previously:

Thanks Bert. I wonder what would need to happen for this fix to be included in the compiled VM's most people use.
