  | | 7.3 seems to support Chinese input out of the box, it's got
  | | miniChinput and some other stuff no documentation. [ ... ]
  | | Can anyone tell me what I should do?
  |
  | I've no idea, but a relevant/useful source of info could
  | be the «linux-utf8» e-list:
  |
  | http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/unicode.html
  | http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-utf8/
  |[ ... ]
  | w.r.t. X11 applications [ one approach is to use ]
  | what's called an XIM (X Input Method). [ ... ]

 sorry for replying to my own post!

 a google for "xim linux" found a number of hits.
 try (I've haven't finished reading this myself,
 but it seems good):

   http://www.suse.de/~mfabian/suse-cjk/

 (CJK stands for Chinese Japanese Korean.)

 the above is probably best read with a browser
 that groks UTF-8.

cheers!
