Old laptop (i386) running Debian sid.  With 2.6.17 stock kernel xterm is
fine.

Installed 2.6.22 kernel and built module for USB wireless card.
Starting xterm gives:

xterm: Error 32, errno 2: No such file or directory
Reason: get_pty: not enough ptys

CONFIG_UNIX98_PTYS=y

for both kernels but only:

CONFIG_LEGACY_PTYS=Y
CONFIG_LEGACY_PTY_COUNT+256

is only for the 2.6.17 kernel that works.

Other term's don't work either.

Googling suggests "MAKEDEV pty" but it's not clear when to do that or
what the Debian way is.  It also seems that reinstalling some package
ought to fix it.

TIA for any ideas.
