I just tried to run make menuconfig on 2.5.50, on a serial terminal,
and it reports:
Your display is too small to run Menuconfig!
It must be at least 19 lines by 80 columns.
make menuconfig in 2.4.20 works perfectly.
I'm pretty sure I've got the terminal configured correctly - has
anybody experienced this?
John

Hmm, the logic for this message is still the same, so I'm suprised that it
behaves differently.

How exactly was it configured? What kind of serial terminal is it? What is
the size of the terminal? Could you send me the output of "echo $LINES
$COLUMNS; stty size"?
bye, Roman

Strange...

Sorry for the vague bug report, but I expected it to be a known
problem, or me not reading the docs properly :-)
It's actually another Linux box running Minicom 1.82, (an old 486
laptop), in 80x24 VT102 mode. I've just tested Minicom 2.00.0, and
the problem is still apparent.
echo $LINES $COLUMNS; stty size
gives:
24 80
0 0
So there does seem to be a problem :-).
John.
