Hello
Is there any vt100 terminal in Fedora2 (in X) ?
I would like to use keys F1-F8 in midnight commander.

(in text mode it's by default and works fine)

Thanx
Michal

Try using a different X terminal, you should have at least two;

With KDE's Konsole or xterm the installed mc-4.6.0-17.fc2.i386.rpm works
just fine.

KDE is 3.3 on my system ( http://www.kde.org/download/ ) and
xterm-179-6.EL.i386.rpm is installed.

Use xterm instead of gnome-terminal. You can create a launcher for
Midnight Commander quite easily. I use:

xterm -title "Midnight Commander" +sb -fn 10x20 -e mc

Here, PG_UP takes me to the beginning of the bash history; PG_DOWN takes
me to the end. If I want to scroll the display, I use SHIFT-PG_UP and
SHIFT-PG_DOWN.

Does that help?

In my xterm PG_UP/PG_DOWN does exactly the same as SHIFT-PG_UP/PG_DOWN:
they scroll the display. How can i force xterm to process pressed
PG_UP/PG_DOWN like in normal console ?
(i am testing my application written in ncurses and these keys are
essencial to me)

Thanx
Michal
