rxvt Backspace key doesn't delete anymore
After my vacation, I came back to a special root login that looked
like I needed to do some repairs. This was not the normal login prompt.
The disks look fine (did e2fsck on them) but now XFree-3.3 wouldn't
recognise my [Windows] keys as Meta keys in X, and the Backspace key
enters a ~ character and beeps instead of deleting.
I fixed the Meta keys with xmodmap (even reinstalling XFree and
reconfiguring wouldn't help get back the default behaviour) but
I don't know how to fix the backspace key.
BTW, it works fine for root, and I can't find anything nasty in any
dot file.
`xev' says the backspace key is keycode 22, so I tried
stty erase 0x22
It doesn't help.
Any ideas?
