Date: Mon, 19 Feb 1996 18:41:18 GMT Organization: Whirlpool Corporation Lines: 24 Message-ID: <4gag8u$2nj@news.whirlpool.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: 158.52.11.15 X-Newsreader: Forte Free Agent 1.0.82 I can't get the PCVT driver to work correctly with vi. I got the vt0 device into the kernel, fixed /etc/gettytab to have :np: on the relevant entries. rc.local is setting my ttyv* to all have HP key mappings, and pcvt25h is set for the ttyv* devices in /etc/ttys. When I use vi, only the last line of the screen changes when I try to scroll past the end of the screen; similarly, if I try to arrow up past the top of the screen, only the first line ever changes. I checked the bug database, found several termcap related items: First I tried just adding :co#80:li#24: to the existing (antique) termcap entry. This did not help. Second, I deleted the existing termcap entry and put the recommended ones from /src/sys/arch/i386/isa/pcvt/Etc/Termcap into my termcap and did the cap_mkdb. After this, using a ttyv* got worse - it seems to have forgotten about carriage returns! Did I miss something on the config, or is there a driver or termcap problem? I am running NetBSD-1.1 release (not -current!). I had this working OK on my old NetBSD-1.0 release in my old job.
