How to set up fcitx under FC7 with en_US.utf-8 locale

Friday, October 12th, 2007

First, you can download the source tarball and use the regular configure, make and make install procedure to install it.

Then create a new input method entry: /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/fcitx.conf, with the content:

XIM=fcitx

XIM_PROGRAM=fcitx

GTK_IM_MODULE=fcitx

QT_IM_MODULE=fcitx

Create and set up alternatives using fcitx

alternatives --install /etc/X11/xinit/xinputrc
 xinputrc /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/fcitx.conf 100

alternatives --config xinputrc

Now, fcitx should be good to use under zh_CN locale. If you want to use under en_US locale, do the following as well.

Edit /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/xinput.sh, add “en” to the “_language_list” string.

Edit /etc/gtk-2.0/x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu/gtk-immodules, add “en” to “xim” section.
