Problems Fixed

[ekl@sdf.lonestar.org]

Well, I have fixed many of my weird problems.   All my problems with
system and getting weird errors, and crashes, and my Minix partition
getting messed up constantly, and problems with TOSWIN and my terminal
and everything else were all due .. or seem to have been due .. to a
line my mint.cnf which used the echo command to do some vt52 escapes and
clear the screen and such.   I tried many times to fix these problems,
and removing that line from the file fixed everything.

There are 2 exceptions.   1 - Fasttext doesn't have a cursor.  This is
a conflict with NVDI.  How can I fix this.  I want NVDI for VDI stuff, in
case I run GEM, and fasttext for console operations, and I want my text
cursor on.   I know, I'm being unreasonable and I should just reboot, but
I want my cake and eat it too :-)

The other exception in the memory leak in TOSWIN.  Here :
# ps
PID  PPID PRI CURPRI STATUS   SIZE    TIME    COMMAND
000  000   0     0  Wait     347904 55:17.88  MiNT
002  000   0     0  Sleep     37120 02:10.25  ttyd0d
004  000   0     0  TSR       53296 00:00.10  BUFFER

006  005   0     0  Wait      97552 07:53.71  gem
061  006   0    -1  Ready    149744 19:47.63  TOSWIN_W
063  000   0     0  Sleep    237392 00:15.13  bash
066  000   0     0  Sleep     36320 00:10.44  wterm
067  066   0     0  Sleep     46400 22:25.61  wterm
102  063   0    -4  Ready     29712 00:00.52  ps
 
Everything looks good, except that pid 00 is close to half a MB.  I need
this fixed!!  Help me please?

In general, I like MiNT 1.10 +++ alot better now!   My system was a mess,
and I lost my compiler because of that one line in mint.cnf.  I still
can't figure out why that was the problem, but it works now, so I'm
not gonna mess with it :-)
