How can I get my XYZ terminal to work with Nyx?
Suppose you have an “xyz” type terminal. If Nyx has an XYZ terminal type in the /etc/termcap file, then do just the lines below that refer to “TERM” and ignore those about TERMCAP. If not, grab the termcap from your system that works (edit out the ones for terminal types you don’t use to save space); load it onto Nyx as a file named “.termcap” then edit the file “.termtype” so it says: xyz Then, at your next login, all should work if you use the menu system. If you use a shell other than the menus, in the csh/tcsh you’d put this in your .login: setenv TERMCAP $HOME/.termcap setenv TERM XYZ In a Bourne type shell, in .profile: TERMCAP=$HOME/.termcap TERM=XYZ export TERMCAP TERM If you’re having a problem with just the size of the screen (e.g., you’re using a nonstandard size, like an xterm), try (from .login or whatever): stty rows 35 or however many rows on the screen. (Also, ‘cols’.
