Re: xt5250 on gnome...

I've had xt5250 (tn5250-0.17.3) running fine on FreeBSD 7.0 Release, with
XDM and xterm. Fairly basic setup with both 80 and 132 column screens.

I've taken things one step further and installed gnome2-lite, as we are
also interested in running other applications. However, now when I run
xt5250 the font on the 80x25 screens is too large, and it will not switch
over to 132 column mode.

This sounds like gnome is setting up the xterm in a way that conflicts with xt5250. How are you starting xt5250? Do you have any environment variables that affect xterm?

if you want to understand why that is, there are many good books on
the design of operating systems. please pass them along to redmond
when you're done reading them :)
