Hi there, I've been wondering for a long time why is this happening, and I couldn't find a reason, so here's my question.
When I sometimes use my Gentoo 2006.0 (or now 2006.1) minimal live-cd to do some tasks, I appreciate that if I enter into my root /usr/src/linux and run 'make menuconfig' ncurses paint lines perfectly, and everything is showed as should. I haven't got X installed, it is a terminal computer. When I run (now in my system, not with live-cd running) for example 'mp3blaster' [ncurses based app], or 'tmsnc' it looks as if there not redrawing as they should. But there is more: I thought that maybe it was a problem of those apps and that they weren't as polished as they should, but when I run 'make menuconfig' to update some kind of thing of my kernel, I see that all those lines that were showed smoothly with my live-cd now are malformed and dialogs are just ugly, and not pretty. I am using vesafb-tng, with a ~x86 system. I do use bootsplash (well, splashutils and friends), but if I don't load it [I have another grub option that does not start it] it happens the same. I don't know what issues are happening into my ncurses libs. Thank you for your attention, Rafael Fernandez Lopez. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
