Since upgrading from 5.4-4, I'm having problems with the display of
programs using ncurses in Eterm. This is quite obvious in lynx, when
scrolling wiht Ins/Del; the output is reminescent of the broken VT100
terminals of yore. This also shows up occasionally in mutt as well.
Both seem to behave correctly in xterm.
Perhaps because $TERM is set to "xterm" rather than "Eterm".
"xterm" in turn is probably aliased to "xterm-new", which describes xterm
(of course). One feature that has caused some non-xterm users heartburn
over the past year is this feature in the terminfo entry:
indn=\E[%p1%dS, rin=\E[%p1%dT,
which was supported in xterm since 1996, but overlooked in its terminfo
until late 2003. The feature appeared in ncurses 5.4, but some packagers
overlooked this. Since ncurses 5.4, ncurses defaults to installing
"xterm" as "xterm-new" rather than "xterm-old". It's a configure script
option.
And in case you're wondering:
[fbriere] toroia:~ $ tic -V
ncurses 5.4.20050604
ncurses 5.4 patched up to 2005/06/04 (June 4, 2005).
