You really can't just unilaterally change the cons25 terminfo entry. If this proposed change is implemented, people running stock FreeBSD will have their consoles broken if they log into a Debian system. If kFreeBSD needs different settings than the stock cons25 entry, it needs to create and use a different TERM type. -- brian m. carlson / brian with sandals: Houston, Texas, US +1 832 623 2791 | http://www.crustytoothpaste.net/~bmc | My opinion only OpenPGP: RSA v4 4096b: 88AC E9B2 9196 305B A994 7552 F1BA 225C 0223 B187
