Problems with font set / cursor keys do't work anymore



Hi there!

Since upgrading my maxima to version 5.9.1 the cursor keys won't work anymore. 
I cant scroll through the lines and the command history isn't accessible 
anymore. I wonder, how I can fix this problem, I was unable to find any 
information yet.

Im running Fedora Core 2 linux, using keyboard style german/latin-1/nodeadkeys 
and my /etc/sysconfig/i18n file consists of the following lines:

LANG="de_DE"
SUPPORTED="de_DE.UTF-8:de_DE:de"
SYSFONT="latarcyrheb-sun16"

Are there other german users reading this list, or does somebody know what to 
do?

Would be very pleased to get back cursor keys ;-)

Thx,

/DvL
