laptop keyboard and xterm

["Daniel Pocock" <daniel@pocock.com.au>]

Hi,

I have a Compaq Presario 1503AP running Debian unstable.

Everything works fine, except for the following:

When I am using the laptop's built in keyboard with vi or less in an xterm
window, pressing the return key sends a newline and a capital M or ESC M.

The problem does not occur:
- using a normal keyboard connected to the laptop
- using other software under X (eg, within Mozilla)
- using vi or less from the text console

Has anyone got any suggestions, has anyone else had this problem?

I have found that pressing CTRL M sends the return code that I really want.

Regards,

Daniel
