[cxterm-devel] fedora 2/unix98 tty support.

[Hin-Tak L. <hin...@ya...>]

Hi people, long time no hear.

I just forked cxterm with a branch to switch to
the newer unix98-tty on linux. (Fedora 2 ships
with legacy pty off). Seems to work for me alright,
but then, I don't run cxterm except under linux
these days, so I don't know if the change breaks
other platforms. In the long term, we probably
want to make the change permanent, as there is
rumour that the legacy pty option will be removed
in later 2.6 linux kernels.

Have fun.

     + Redhat problem again. Fedora 2 shipped with the optional legacy BSD
       tty mode in the 2.6 kernel switched off. Well, cxterm is very old...
       Merged unix98-related code-changes and small extras fom xterm's source
       over the last 9 years since the fork. Now uses the newer
       unix98-style ttys on linux. Probably will break other platforms. Caution!
