Hmm, apparently I didn't - sorry about that! TERMCMD* were replaced by OE_TERMINAL some time ago. I see we don't have any references to TERMCMD* so I guess you removed these already. FYI there is a short reference to the available options for the new OE_TERMINAL in the example config file which you should be able to copy and adapt: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/tree/meta-yocto/conf/local.conf.sample Please let me know if you need any more info.
