What am I doing wrong? | | If I ssh into the machine then export an xterm over ssh then resume | the | screen, it displays normally. I've not tried with other makes of | xterm. The usual pitfalls here: a) xterm honors VT100 line-drawing in UTF-8 mode b) some other terminals do not c) screen(1) does not d) screen(1) honors VT100 line-drawing when not in UTF-8 mode So the first thing to investigate is whether screen(1) run from the two scenarios has consistent locale settings. -- Thomas E.
