I mean not the display on the screen but the "starting" column shifts. When you have a line saying for example : installing ... in blah + foo bar + installing ... ... cc -DCSRG_BASED ... rm -f ... cc blah ... ... ... ..... .... .... .... ..... rm -f .... and it keeps on shifting. It is not the monitor because when I ^Z the process, the cursor return to col #0 then when I restart the process, a few lines later, it will shift again. It doesn't seem TAB ligned, sometimes it shifts for 3 characters, then 7 and so on. vga0: rev 0x30 int a irq 11 on pci0.17.0 Probing for devices on the ISA bus: VESA: v2.0, 2048k memory, flags:0x0, mode table:0xf0216a28 (100008c) VESA: STB Lightspeed 128 Video (ET6000) stty -a shows the right size (132x60). It is quite funny to watch but it is still a bug :-) -- Ollivier ROBERT -=- FreeBSD: The Power to Serve! -=- roberto@keltia.freenix.fr FreeBSD keltia.freenix.fr 3.0-BETA #2: Sat Oct 3 11:34:55 CEST 1998 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
