Mime-Version: 1.0 (generated by tm-edit 7.52) Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Date: Tue, 06 Aug 1996 08:35:27 +0200 From: "Michael Sperber [Mr. Preprocessor]" Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi there, I just upgraded my 2.0.5 system to 2.1.5. Everything works wonderfully except for xterm which gives me a Error 23, errno 25. Inappropriate ioctl for device. It seems this is related to the pty that the xterm opens, since I can start an xterm on a known file descriptor, for example. Emacs (which I assume uses ptys for subprocesses and subshells) also works fine. I've tried regenerating the pty devices with MAKEDEV, also to no avail. Help would be *much* appreciated. Cheers =8-} Mike
