- I have a customer who is running SCO XENIX 2.3.1 and has been running
- it for years now. Within the last 2 weeks she has had a problem with
- multi-screens behaving erratically. She has four Screens enabled,
- tty01 thru tty04. She uses Alt-F1 thru ALT-F4 to switch to these
- screens. What has started happening recently is that sometimes these
- keys work correctly to switch screens for her and sometimes they do not.
-
- When they do not switch screens for her she is sometimes left looking
- at her original screen and she gets the message
-
- If your terminal supports lower case letters, please
- use them. Login again, using lower case if possible
-
- She is sometimes left with strange characters on the original screen
- when she hits the ALT-F keys as if not all the characters generated
- by they ALT-F? keys are being sent correctly.
-
- Has anyone seen this? Is it a hardware or software problem most likely?
-
- Thanks for any help.
-
- Michael
