glance display problem on linux desktop.

Hello,

I am trying to switch permanantly from Windows to Linux on my desktop.

We have HPUX servers, X redirection works fine , but I get problem with glance display when i connect with ssh or telnet.

Is there any variable that must be changed to have better display ?

I am using /usr/bin/gnome-terminal, with debian etch

Regards.

Shalom,

Linux to HP-UX

ssh -X hostname gpm (any graphical command)
ssh -Y hostname gpm (any graphical command)

This will work.

Re: glance display problem on linux desktop.

gnome-terminal has trouble with some of the escape sequences that glance sends for the default TERM value of xterm. You can get clean glance output to gnome-terminal by setting "export TERM=dtterm". The terminfo sequences for HP-UX's dtterm work well with gnome-terminal. Glance will complain if you try to use it in an 24x80 gnome-terminal. It wants at least 25 lines to allow room for function key labels. Your screen capture certainly has a large enough window for glance. :-)
