[opensuse] [ncurses] yast2 frames not in xterm but OK in screen

2008-01-24 Thread Marcin Floryan
Hi!

After upgrading to 10.3 I have noticed a small nuisance when
connecting to my server and was wondering if you have any clues on the
issue?

An SSH connection using PUTTY. When I run MC it displays frames
correctly but if I run yast2 I get letters instead of frames (lines).
However if I start screen and then run yast2 the lines are shown
correctly.

Kind regards,

Hi Marcin,

Have looked into:

(I don't use Putty so I don't know what settings should be applied for YaST.)

Hi Rajko!

Thanks, but I am very well aware of these options. MC as I've
mentioned works OK. Also YAST2 frames are all OK when I start it via
screen. This makes me suspect this is not a problem of putty but
rather I suspect this being specific to yast2 use of ncurses. I
suspect there is something with the way borders are rendered via
ncurses onto the screen depending on the terminal (the TERM env).

Just I have never coded using ncurses so don't really know where to look.

I was wandering if anyone else has similar problems?

Cheers,
