- I have a little problem with screen (the program which gives you multiple
- virtual terminals on a terminal) on Mach386. When I run it from the
- console, everything goes just fine, no problems at all, but,
- when I use it from a /dev/tty0x (terminal or modem), it doesn't
- give any of the output of the shell run in the virtual to me.
- All characters I write go through just fine (I can see it by running
- commands which use disk - disk's led flashes) but I cannot get
- any output. But, however, screen's own messages come through
- (like "Bell in window one" or help screen or window list etc.)
-
- I think the problem is more general one, because I have tried
- screen 3.2, iScreen and GNU Screen and none of those worked. All
- did the same, EXCEPT iScreen which displayed some of the shells
- output, but it was always two or three lines behind, cursor was
- somewhere and after few lines it did the same thing and displayed
- nothing after that.
-
- Have anyone tried running screen via serial line? Otherwise the
- serial lines work just fine after I updated UARTs to 16550AFN's.
-
- Any help will be appreciated.
-
- Thanks,
-
- Petri
