I have the following problem when using screen sessions between FreeBSD and Linux: The pageup/pagedown keys stop working when I re-attach a session that was started under FreeBSD to a console that is Linux driven and vice versa. All other keys, including alt/meta and some supposedly more complicated keys continue to work. I haven't verified this in detail but it seems that while programs like mutt seem affected often emacs seems to be happy. I know NIL about curses. How would I go about debugging this? I would need something like "xev" for curses to see what keys I get from the different consoles and then I'd need something to find out what a given session expects. Where do I start looking? Also, I see screen on FreeBSD emit line noise on a regular basis, both when attaching before the session comes up and after deattaching. Dunno whether this helps. Example: # session running, press detach key [detached] -en \033]0; grisu:ttype:~\007 Martin -- %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Martin Cracauer <cracauer@cons.org> http://www.cons.org/cracauer/ FreeBSD - where you want to go, today. http://www.freebsd.org/
