ansi

Hi. John, I apologise for posting in the wrong forum *again* hopefully third time lucky. :)

Robert-Jan,

# ps -ef | grep xfs

gives me

root 31 0 0 12:05:14 ? 0:00 vxfsd

It is the screen connected to the fx6 graphics card, an eizo f56 with the resolution set to 1024 x 768 85hz vesa.

I tried setting the term variable but no joy. I've had no problems running the linux and sparc version of BitchX on various sun/pc boxes but it just displays the wrong characters instead of the colour ansi characters it should display.

regards,
Lewis.

Hi Lewis,

You can use the "reply" button in your previous thread to add information. :-)

EDIT
/etc/rc.config.d/xfs

Set the following variable RUN_X_FONT_SERVER=1

# /sbin/init.d/xfs start

Regards,
Robert-Jan

Hi, I tried that but still no joy. In a command line login i get the characters, they are still not in colour or correct. In cde the only terminal that seems to get close is the Xterm, which again is still just white text on a blue background ( it seems to use the colour scheme cde is set to)

regards,
Lewis.

So likely the default settings are different on hp than on sun or linux, but you should be able to find those settings and change them on the hp-ux system. Your graphics card has overlay planes and different color setting options (8 bit color, 24 bit, true color or something like that). Go in to 'sam' and check the display settings.

Surely that just changes the x settings? This is a console problem.
