- Subject: All text being echoed in Xterms
Hi There,
I'm a newbie to Cygwin/XFree. I just installed Cygwin 1.3.7/Xfree v4.2 on my
sunpci card (basically, an Intel-based motherboard w/AMD processor running in
a Sun box) running WinNT 4.0. All the software has installed perfectly. I can
start up bash shells within Cygwin just fine, X starts up without any error
messages (using the default startx scripts) and xterms/xclock appear fine.
My trouble is that anytime I try to type (enter commands) in an xterm,
all text gets echoed twice. So, if I type: 'ls -al[ENTER]' , I get the
following spewed back:
llss --aall [CR]
[CR]
me@machine bash>
me@machine bash>
---
I tried to determine whether it's Xwin or the xterm. (NOTE: the Cygwin shells
do NOT have this problem). From what I can tell it is Xwin causing the problem.
I was able to display a remote xterm window from a Sun box and had the same
trouble where everything was echoed. I checked newsgroups, faqs, web, etc. and
no luck. Any ideas?
Thanks for any help you could provide!
Thanks,
+Steve
