When I launch emacs in console mode or in terminal with -nw option, emacs launches in terminal but none of keys work. I cannot type anything or even cannot exit by C-x C-c. Though I can see a blinking cursor. Same emacs works fine in GUI mode. Any clues will be helpful. I’m running debian 2.6.

    I finally resolved the issue by installing emacs23-nox. Probably it installed any missing dependency. Now launching emacs in terminal mode works. Interestingly, when I had uninstalled and installed emacs again, that did not resolve the problem. Anyway, I’m all set.
