[comp.windows.x] xterm <-> stty

dan@math.uiuc.edu (04/05/88)

I have the following problem using xterm in x v11 r2 under Ultrix 2.0.  If a
program like emacs or talk is running (i.e. a program which changes the state
of the tty) in one xterm window, and I start another xterm window, it comes up
with its tty attributes all wrong, e.g. no control characters work, and no
carriage returns are echoed.

Any fix?

The problem, as i understand it, is that xterm inheriets the stty settings
of the parent shell, try using xterm -l to get a new login foreach xterm
(i think its -l, its 4 a.m. and i can't find my xterm manual)
