Doucet) Subject: Vt52 problem with vi on NetBSD 0.9 Message-ID: <1993Sep22.003221.23217@jupiter.sun.csd.unb.ca> Organization: University of New Brunswick, Fredericton, NB, Canada X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.1 PL9] Date: Wed, 22 Sep 1993 00:32:21 GMT Lines: 26 I am at something of a loss. I'm not sure if i'm doing something wrong or if its something else. I just finished upgrading from NetBSD 0.8 to 0.9 (which went very well). 0.8 had no trouble talking to my vt52 terminal through com0. 0.9 however, has problems when I try to run programs like vi or more that use escape characters and what not. After these commands, I get a bunch of reverse, block unprintables and so on. If I go to the console and kill vi or more or whatever started the problem, the prompt comes back and everything is fine. My ttys, and gettytab files are the same as before. The vt52 termcap entry is pretty straight forward and has'nt changed either. I would not however presume it to be the code for the device driver unless someone else agreed that it was the problem. Could it be vi and more? Hmmmm. The com.c driver does look to be changed quite a lot though. Do you think that that could be what it is or am I just doing something stupid? ****************************************************************************** ** From: Peter Howlett | Inet: douc@jupiter.csd.unb.ca ** ** Atlantic Systems Group | Phone: (506) 453-3505 ** ** Fredericton, New Brunswick | Fax: (506) 453-5004 ** ******************************************************************************
