Hartmann Sent: Saturday, April 22, 2000 9:12 AM To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: PAX does not accept keyboard inputs!!! Hello. I wrote some little scripts for backups using pax. When performing a backup and pax asks me for changing the media, I cannot confirm this change! Keyboard is stuck and still does not allow any inputs except Ctrl-C. What's up? Please help! In kernel, I configured vt220 support (VT-Terminal), my standard Terminal is a vt220 emulation Is there a reason you added extra support for hardware you decided to emulate? I can understand if your pax application requires it. If not, why not just use vt100? It seems to be more widely accepted and probably isn't that much different. I can see some local applications requiring it (interfacing to electronics, etc) but for remote access, vt100 is a no-brainer. Don't take this email as an insult. I'm just offering up advice in case you weren't aware of other vt models. There's plenty of general info in the RFC about virtual terminals and how they work if you need detail on it: http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/htbin/rfc/rfc782.html Regards, Otter (~/.sig files available for an additional fee) and it is really funny: the often I make a cvsupdate an recompile the system, the more I get different behaviours of my Xterminals. Hey, what's that? It is confusing and it is not especially a kind of user friendly for reconfiguring keyboard an other stuff ... Gruss O.
