Hi,
I'm having trouble with color support in xterm.
At the moment I am running xterm with the terminfo as xterm, which seems
to disable all color support (although ls --color still works ?). When I
mean color support I'm talking about programs such as mutt and dselect.
When I change terminfo to xterm-debian I get color support on my local
machine, but when I connect to another machine (also debian 2.0) color
still doesn't work in mutt (although I now does in dselect). I am
connecting via ssh (although I tried with telnet as well).
Is anyone able to explain this behaviour? Can anyone tell me how to make
it work properly??
Also, I'd prefer not to use xterm-debian, as whenever I connect to uni
machines I get the message "Sorry, I don't know anything about your
"xterm-debian" terminal" whenever I try and run anything like vi, etc. Is
there any advantage to xterm-debian (and anyway to make it more seamless?)
Thanks for any assistance,
Chris Leishman
