thats great, i sorted out,
the problem was the file /etc/locae.gen
the code name should correspond to the file name which are located /usr/share/i18n/charmaps/

tho, what i think this page gives little bit wrong info, so I've changed the page.
if u find something wrong with this section which i motified, u probably change it back to original look like.

我有个疑问，，按照你This is mine, and it works well
en_US ISO-8859-1
en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8
zh_CN GB2312
zh_CN.GBK GBK
zh_CN.GB18030 GB18030
zh_CN.UTF-8 UTF-8
这样设置的话，哪一个才是默认的啊，，在debian里面可以设置一个默认的。

这只是生成所需要的，具体使用哪个，在.xinitrc中制定

原来是这样的，谢谢。
