Does Xvesa work in BL3 with Netscape?
I just tried to use the delilinux Xvesa in BL2 with Netscape.
It won't load, and tells me:
locale 'C' not supported.
Perhaps the $XNLSPATH envir is not set correctly?
Opera complains that locales are not supported but works in Xvesa anyway.
NLS - national language support. I don't need that. I do NOT have
regular X on this machine, just Xvesa and dependencies.
I started Xvesa with xinit (and icewm).
I will try Abiword in BL2 with Xvesa.
