I have 2 Redhat 8 boxes that use xterm as default
terminal. I can not type more than an 80 character line across. I can not grep
for a process that may have more than 80 characters in it. I also have issues
of going from the Redhat 8 box to an AIX server and using smitty, it doesn't
allow the use of arrows keys to move in smitty. This problem does not occur in
Redhat 9, or Redhat 7.3. Does anyone know what can cause this issue? How can I
modify the terminal to correct this? The TERM is definitely xterm. I have 2
boxes that act this same way. I was thinking maybe this is common in Redhat8,
but I guess it may be just my boxes. I have tried setting the TERM to vt100,
vt220 xterm-r5, and a few things. Jason G. |
