Sounds like the term is starting in vga mode. Ramon Diaz-Uriarte wrote:

Dear All,

When I am in KDE (but not in other environments, suchas as fvwm), and I am a user (some users, not all of them or root), and I start a console and execute, say, mc, I get funny characters; for instance, instead of vertical lines separating the left and right I get down-pointing arrows and instead of horizontal lines above and below I get double headed arrows. I've been looking at the configuration files, but I haven't been able to find what is wrong.

Thanks,

Ramon
