Unix m/c screen scroll to Half screen only and Vi problem

ezhilarasan_1 — Mon, 17 Nov 2003 16:07:07 GMT

Hi,

From my same PC, I login to lot of Unix servers. Everywhere screen display and vi are working fine. In one or few servers, I face this problem.
I though it is due to TERM setting.
I ran command ttytype, it showed vt100.
So I did export TERM=vt100
Still no use in display and vi.
Please help me on this

Thanks
R.Ezhil

Hi,
try to run
tset
on the command line.
Or try
eval `resize`
Or - maybe the TTY description files on the systems are damaged? Copy them from another system.
Regards
uli

2 GUESSES.
try "stty sane"
try control-L (to reset screen)

What xterm emulator are you using on your PC? You may have a configuration setting for one system that is different from the rest.

Try this command:

eval ` tset -s -Q `

which will query your xterm session and export the TERM variable accordingly.

Try the 'reset' command (perhaps some bogus output from a command has given some escape-sequences resulting in this behaviour).

And check out the values of your LINES and COLUMNS environment variables. If set, they have to match EXACTLY your terminal size.

Hi all,

Thanks for your responses.
Thanks for Uli, he suggested to run
eval `resize` which resolved my problem.
