I am not too sure if this is a bad thing, resetting the terminal... The
one-line fix would be:
#v+
--- rungetty-1.2.orig/rungetty.c
+++ rungetty-1.2/rungetty.c
@@ -484,7 +484,7 @@
/* Write a reset string to the terminal. This is very linux-specific
and should be checked for other systems. */
if (!noclear)
- write (0, "\033c", 2);
+ write (0, "\033[H\033[J", 6);
sa.sa_handler = SIG_DFL;
sa.sa_flags = 0;
#v-
Though, like I said, I'm not too sure if this change is a sane one. I
sent a mail to upstream to check with him. In the meantime feel free to
apply that locally and tell me about the things you have experienced.
So long,
Alfie
