Re: [gentoo-user] cygwin terminal problem logging into gentoo

[john lawler]

Well, one difference is that I'm not using a window manager.  I'm just 
launching the basic command window that gives you a Cygwin / UNIX 
environment under what appears to be just a Windows command prompt, 
really.  That's where my problem is occuring.  I'm running Windows XP 
Pro, too, but I doubt that makes any difference.

Is anyone else using Cygwin as I'm describing to directly log into a 
terminal session on a Gentoo box?

Thanks for the reply, Eric.

I've been having this problem ever since I installed gentoo.  I use ssh
under Cygwin to login to my Gentoo box, and I've noticed whenever I try
to look at 'top', when it goes fullscreen, it seems to put one character
past the end of the line that the cygwin terminal can display, so that
character wraps to the next line and makes everything look messed up.
   

Well, if it's any help, I do *not* seem to have the problem, so it may not
be a universal thing. Just to be sure I'm doing the same thing:
1. Open an xterm under cygwin (I'm using Windowmaker, if it makes a
difference)
2. ssh to my gentoo box (~x86 specified, fully updated), using the ssh2
protocol (though that shouldn't matter)
3. run "top"
The screen is correctly painted. Moreover, I can resize the screen, in
particular making it too narrow to hold the top output fully, and everything
still paints ok.
