Yes, they use the same driver, but your problem starts when getty exec's login. So I suspect that login is changing the characteristics of the tty. I just looked at the termios manpage, and it is possible to set the number of stop bits to 1 or 2 (see the CSTOPB constant). It is also possible to set the number of databits (see the CSIZE constant) to anything from 5 to 8. It could be that getty sets csize and cstopb to liberal values, like 8 data bits and 2 stop bits, and login sets one and/or the other to smaller values. >From bash or whatever shell, you can try saying stty cs8 cstopb -- Steve Preston ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
