I've had a pty-related error with xterm on PowerPC in the past. I had to use the following workaround in my app-defaults file for XTerm: ! On ay (PPC), ones needs to set eightBitInput to true to avoid the error ! "xterm: fatal pty error 23 (errno=22) on tty /dev/pts/...". Therefore ! metaSendsEscape needs to be set to true, to allow non-ASCII characters. *metaSendsEscape: true *eightBitInput: true BTW, this may still be the case, as ttyrec doesn't work on PowerPC as it currently uses pty's. > CONFIG_LEGACY_PTYS=Y > CONFIG_LEGACY_PTY_COUNT+256 > > is only for the 2.6.17 kernel that works. I see that # CONFIG_LEGACY_PTYS is not set on my PowerPC machine, while it is set on my i386 machine (both with 2.6.18 kernel). So, it may be the problem. Is your 2.6.22 kernel an official Debian kernel? If not, the solution would be to recompile it with this option set. -- Vincent Lefèvre <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.org/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.org/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / Arenaire project (LIP, ENS-Lyon) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
