I'm trying to set the terminal size in /usr/share/vte/termcap/xterm, but it seems that CentOS doesn't look at this file.

Works for me (CentOS 4, opening "gnome-terminal").

What does "echo $TERM" output for you? If it does not output "xterm" that might be the reason why it does not work...

HTH, Filipe

Hi Here is the output of $TERM

newt (Linux)$ echo $TERM xterm newt (Linux)$

I know this works in RHEL/CentOS 4.x and Fedora >10, but not in CentOS 5.x (I'm not sure about RHEL 5.x).

The question is if someone else has the same problem.

Thanks
