Does "stty columns 80" fix it? Hi Dan, echo $COLUMNS -> 80 # as expected 'stty columns 80' FIXES it # unexpectedly :) I'm reiterating: 1. Problem never happened before (up and including 2.16.0) 2. Still doesn't happen on vesa driver 3. Any of the "fixes" (reboot, log out/in, TERM=linux, yours) fixes it for good, i.e. the command line wraparound (to new line) never gets broken again no matter how many times I go to X and back.

What will happen when the X server doesn't support XKB(XKEYBOARD)
There is a X server for win32 which doesn't support XKB extension(I know it's unbelievable). There is something strange when I try to use the gnome-keyboard-properties and system-config-keyboard to change the X server's keyboard layout. When using gnome-keyboard-properties,the input of keyboard goes crazy and can't be used. When using system-config-keyboard the CLI just prints something like "XKB extension unsupported" and nothing changed including the keyboard layout. I tested serveral X server from the latest Xorg server in Arch and some old Xorg server in RHEL5.6/5.5 also with latest cygwin/X. All the servers I tested above can change the keyboard using these 2 GUI. I assume the problem is the lack of XKB extension but without XKB extension,the client should just send a lot of ChangeKeyboardLayout requests (and wireshark shows it really sends) to X server,and the layout should change even without the XKB extension and no crazy keyboard. How can I determine where the problem really is? ___ xorg@lists.freedesktop.org: X.Org support Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg Info: http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg Your subscription address: arch...@mail-archive.com
