Hi I'm using XFree86 on my NT box with very good results. Thanks! I'm using it in default mode (no multiwindow). I have one problem:
I launch xterm on my PC, then rlogin (or ssh -X) to a SUN (default shell on the SUN is csh). Then I cannot delete characters that I type on the command line: backspace gets displayed as ^H delete gets displayed as ~[[3 I guess this can be solved somehow with stty, but 1) I don't know how and 2) I thought this shouldn't happen when you come from an xterm as it is supported by SUN termcap obviously (I'm not surprised when this happens when login in via a cygwin terminal). [the latter point is why I'm posting this here] Note that backspace does work when I launch a bash shell, but fine. Note also that when then launching xterm on the SUN (displaying on my PC) the Delete key works (to delete the previous character), while backspace still displays as ^H. Here is the output of "stty -a" I got from the SUN (with xterm on the PC). speed 9600 baud; rows = 46 columns = 80; ypixels = 694 xpixels = 739 intr = ^c; quit = ^|; erase = ^?; kill = ^u; eof = ^d; eol = <undef>; eol2 = <undef>; swtch = <undef>; start = ^q; stop = ^s; susp = ^z; dsusp = ^y; rprnt = ^r; flush = ^o; werase = ^w; lnext = ^v; -parenb -parodd cs8 -cstopb -hupcl cread -clocal -loblk -parext -ignbrk brkint ignpar -parmrk -inpck -istrip -inlcr -igncr icrnl -iuclc ixon -ixany -ixoff imaxbel isig icanon -xcase echo echoe echok -echonl -noflsh -tostop echoctl -echoprt echoke -defecho -flusho -pendin iexten opost -olcuc onlcr -ocrnl -onocr -onlret -ofill -ofdel -tabs "stty -a" with xterm on the SUN looks very similar. Kris Thielemans PS: when xterm displays a shell from the PC, backspace works as I expect, but that's because stty -a reports 'erase=^H'. I wouldn't mind if anybody told me who sets all this and where. It's an eternal problem with Unix systems. PPS: please reply to myself and to the list if you don't mind.
