Hello!
The attached patch fixes backspace in rxvt
>From /usr/include/ncurses/curses.h:
#define KEY_BACKSPACE 0407 /* Backspace (unreliable) */
Let's make it more reliable. If the code 127 has not been recognized by
ncurses as delete or backspace, let's assume that it's backspace.
I agree that my rxvt may be not perfectly tuned, but other programs are
quite happy with it.
Full keyboard support in /sbin/grub still needs a lot of work.
