Terms and X
Ok. In text mode, I rlogin to a bunch of Sun machines on a local
ethernetwork, to do almost nothing but run pine. Seeing as my standard
term type ("linux") isn't recognized by the terms files on the sun
machines, I usually do a "set term=vt100" in tcsh on the remote
systems. Sometimes after I quit pine (again, on the remote suns) my
terminal is all screwy ... as if the local linux system now thinks my
screen is only one line high. Is this a local problem? Does pine do
something screwy?
Next question: I've got X configured to run in 640x480, and it's the
only mode enabled in my XF86Config. But the SVGA server insists on
running in it's "builtin 320x200" mode. Since this makes a single 80x20
xterm window take up four virtual desktops, X is unusable. Any suggestions?
And how much would I need to download to upgrade from 1.2 to 1.3? Just
the core packages?
