Re: gnupg under X
The symptoms you see suggest something broken in how the pty got set up.
You said that tty works, so you can see that the real tty is be /dev/ttyp0
or whatever it is. What does "ls -l /dev/ttyp0" give you? If it gives you
the same error, then /dev/tty is fine and it's just redirecting to the
actual terminal device, which has a problem. If using /dev/ttyp0 directly
works ok but /dev/tty doesn't, then it is a problem with the redirection
that /dev/tty is supposed to do.
Looking at the source, I suspect you will find that /dev/ttyp0 works ok.
I can't figure out how ENXIO (Device not configured) would from term.
The libc code that gets invoked for /dev/tty will return ENXIO if the
cttyid port is null. So, I suspect that xterm failed to properly set the
controlling terminal of its child process (your shell). This is done with
the TIOCSTTY ioctl. So take a look at the code in xterm trying to do that
and see what results it is getting.
