bicon in 640x480

It seems bicon works fine in my box.
Attached my screenshot.

Which ncurses application did you try?

gnome-screenshot can take the screenshot:
% gnome-screenshot -i

Hay,

is there any more direction I can check to see the why my resolution is very
small when working with bicon and ncurses application ?

I have no idea.
You may like to ask upstream directly:

Hi,

I have did some investigation and a notice that the $COLUMNS and $LINES have
changes after I run the bicon command.
if I set them manually then the ncurses application run as it should

me@localhost ~ $ echo $LINES
49
me@localhost ~ $ echo $COLUMNS
140 
me@localhost ~ $ bicon
BiCon started
me@localhost ~ $  echo $LINES
24
me@localhost ~ $  echo $COLUMNS
80

is there anything that can be done to preserve the right values ?

thanks in advanced

(In reply to Oren Oichman from comment #8)

> BiCon started
> me@localhost ~ $  echo $LINES

I don't see that change when bicon starts.
But I saw LINES and COLUMNS are reset when bicon exits.

I noticed $HOME/.bashrc is loaded when bicon starts.
Your login script might change that values.

BTW, bicon is a wrapper shell script and it calls bicon.bin

Since no reply, I close this with the update and will integrate the new bicon
in f19 too later.

Hi,

the problem still presist

I did a workaround in the bashrc file :

[[ -z $lines ]] && export lines=$LINES
[[ -z $columns ]] && export columns=$COLUMNS

if [[ $COLUMNS != $columns ]] && [[ ! -z $columns ]] ; then export
COLUMNS=$columns; fi
if [[ $LINES != $lines ]] && [[ ! -z $lines ]] ; then export  LINES=$lines; fi

for some reason the base values are 24x80

is there a why to change the defualt values

I don't see the default values in my view.
It would be good for you to file a bug in upstream since I cannot reproduce
your bug:

--- Comment #16 from Fedora End Of Life  ---
This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will
be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 19 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Fedora 19 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-01-06. Fedora 19 is
