Is anyone else having xterm problems when logging in to a potato system from another system? I'm actually not sure where the problem lies, xterm, ncurses or somewhere else, but whenever I log in to my Debian laptop from my workstation (SGI using ssh in an xterm) the terminal properties seem to be messed up. For example if I do a "man ls" the man pages shows up, but it's got underlines in bad places and tends to reverse-video things that shouldn't be rv'd. When I'm done reading the manual page the terminal is stuck in reverse-video mode. Until I type "reset".
Also, if I edit a file with vi, where my cursor is on screen does not correspond to where it actually is in the file and Ctrl+L doesn't set it straight either. >From past experience these symptoms, to me, would indicate a bad termcap entry (or terminfo in the case of Debian), but I'm not too familiar with this type of thing. It's always been a potato system, but this problem just started happening after I did an "apt-get upgrade" a few hours ago. Thanks, Gary
