Configuration: 12 virtual consoles, SVGATextmode (112x40), Linux 2.0.34, Hamm
Alt-F1 Type foo Alt-F11 Start mc Alt-F1 Type bar Alt-F11 Quit mc (screen should be restored to what it was before starting mc, it is instead cleared) Alt-F1 Screen is restored to what it was on console 1 before starting mc on console 11 Same thing happens with consoles 2 and 12 In console 10 mc gives weird warnings (and occasionally hangs) when saving/restoring the screen. It seems to me that for console numbers >= 10 and for certain screen operations, only the least significant decimal digit is kept in consideration, causing that saving and restoring the screen on tty<n> operates on tty<n%10>. Is it a common problem? Is there some workaround? Has someone experienced it before or is it something weird just only on my system? I checked /dev/tty[0-9]* and /dev/vcs[0-9]* and saw nothing wrong (magic numbers seem to be coherent with device names) Ciao! Enrico
