Rebuilt the kernel to remove a few superfluous devices and similarly the X Server to remove a few unnecessary cards. When I try to run either an xterm or a 9term I get an error xterms I get error on TIOCSETP inappropriate IOCTL on device, then it quits 9term, complains of inappropriate ioctl on dewvice and tells me Job Control is available (at least it continues :-) Any pointers ? TIA - JonT PS Xemacs, twm, pppd and other things work, just not my Xterminals. -- Jonathon Earnshaw Tidswell <jont@mpce.mq.edu.au> Postgraduate Student, Department of Computing School of Mathematics, Physics, Computing and Engineering Macquarie University, NSW Australia 2109 --- Disclaimer: I think my thoughts are my own, and I believe my writings are too.
