1 Aterm is by far the best virtual terminal emulater around. ;] Here's a
2 bunch of what I had to do to get it to work after emerging:
3
4 # cd /dev/; MAKEDEV ptmx; MAKEDEV pty; cd -
5 # mkdir /dev/pts
6 # chmod u+s /usr/lib/misc/pt_chown
7 # vim /etc/fstab
8 --- uncomment the /dev/pts line and prepend 'gid=5' to the
9 column which has 'mode=620' in it. So it looks like:
10 --- 'none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0'
11 --- :wq
12 # mount /dev/pts
13
14 This I believe is a superset of things that have to be done to get the
15 aterms to work. For instance I think that the 'MAKEDEV pty' was not
16 required.
17
18 This would not have happened except for:
19 http://aterm.sourceforge.net/README.Unix98PTY

21 Special thanks to Aaron Blew for the aterm ebuild.
